It provides space to relax and unwind. You’re likely to see Ulysses and Orchard Swallowtail and the Common Eggfly Butterflies, and see and hear Rainbow Bee-eaters, Pacific Emerald Doves, Bush Stone Curlews, Peaceful Doves, and Scrub Turkeys as they forage among the surrounding Fig trees, Mackay cedars, Flame Trees, White Cedars, Damson and Milky Pines. Your nearest neighbour is almost half a kilometre away, and nowhere in sight.
