This is the last garden on the trail that I am going to post about. I had been there when I first moved to Whangarei so about 8 or 9 years ago. There is a garden around the house with a magnificent view over the lake that the owners made from a swampy area. We then walked through some native bush with large rocks thrown up by a nearby volcano many moons ago. This brought us to the other side of the lake and the walk back up to the house.

Fabulous lake; I'd like one of those at the bottom of the garden.
ReplyDeleteGet digging!
DeleteHoly heck, that's a lovely area. I really like that style of house as well. One level, lots of windows does it for me.
ReplyDeleteMost houses here are one level and yes it is a lovely area.
DeleteLooks lovely but I bet it’s a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteA lot of mowing to start with as well as the general gardening.
DeleteThat's one big garden, I like the rocks and boulders.
ReplyDeleteIt was stunning.
DeleteThat does not look like an easy walk, but, oh my, what a pretty view those owners have from their home.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit slippery walking through the bush and then quite a hike around the lake and up the hill back to the house. Not as steep as one of the drives we walked up during the weekend.
