Deadman's Creek


 We took the boats out at Deadman's Creek this AM - really the first unambiguous day of spring. It's a tributary of the Georges River, as is the usual spot on the Woronora, so the landscape is similar.

It looks beautiful, and it is, but the roar of traffic is omnipresent. It doesn't have the remote air of the Woronora, although looking at the map there probably isn't much in it.

 It's about 18 months since the verge garden project, and last spring was a bit early to get the full effect on the streetscape, but now the difference is significant. I need to find some "before" shots to ram it home, but there's no denying it looks a bit more welcoming.

I haven't quite managed to group them all sensible below, but these would be the best eight; there's another nine or so, but they need more weeding! I think there are four of us who take the gardens reasonably seriously, in terms of weeding and mulch and design, plus a couple of others who would like to do more but can't through infirmity.
