Never thought I'd start a blog, as I have too many interests, but I've
just
realised that I want to do one on gardening.

Oooh - off to read.
It might inspire me to actually put some thought into one I've thought
about
doing ... on children's books.
(sorta strange how the librarian wants to blog about gardening, and the
botanist wants to blog about books eh?)

Following up as I'm apparently too verbose to post a comment at your
blog....
Great garden description ... (and I say *yes* to a digital camera, even if
only I get to finally see a pic of *you* in your garden to put a face to the
name).
Do you know the species of tea-tree that was native to the area? I know a
few good Qld species that do OK on heavy clays (and possibly M.quinquenervia
would also be OK in NSW) and wonder what the NSW species are that are found
in the western Sydney area.... M.thymifolia? M.nodosa? M.erubescens?
M.decora? M.linariifolia (sp?)? other spp???
