Aother part of the garden
A cooling effect on a hot summer's day is achieved by planting cool colour groundcovers in the semi-shaded areas around the house, this will also attract insects and native birds to the garden.

| Some interesting scenes around the area , taken by a local keen photographer who has his camera ready to capture that special moment.
The panoramic horizons at times offer spectacular displays of Mother Nature at her best, painting the skies in readiness for impending storms which are often generated in this area, prior to sweeping towards Melbourne and coastal communities. Sunsets are often spectacular as are the night skies, which due to the lack of light pollution offer those interested in looking at the stars a full vista of the heavens. There are other sights to be seen in the sky , such as the odd crop duster in the surrounding paddocks or ultra light aircraft as they wend their way to the coast. continued....a young resident's view..... Wallinduc...a little bit of south-west Victoria that sounds like a Waddling-Duck. It has a two digit population, one broken-down church, a fire-shed, a war memorial and a mystery telephone exchange-thingy. I don't care that it's 60k's from the nearest McDonalds, or that it doesn't have a football team. Wallinduc may be too small for most maps, and barely worth a mention on the World Wide Web, but Wallinduc is my home. And I think it's kinda cool.... By Gemma Urch... |
