TRIP TO ADELAIDE



Recent trip to Adelaide. Gippsland, through Otway National Park to Great Ocean Road, to Robe, pass the Coorong, to Adelaide, Adelaide Zoo, to Arid Lands Botanic Garden in Port Augusta, back to Adelaide via Clare Valley, back to Melbourne via the Grampians.

INFLUENCES



Koumyouinn Temple and Katsura Imperial Villa, Kyoto, Japan.

THE BEGINNING



I recently sold my inner Melbourne apartment to buy a 1 acre block in Gippsland, Victoria. The intention is to develop an environmentally-responsive property which provides creative inspiration. The Masked Owl (Tyto novaehollandiae) is threatened in the local area, so the hope is to create a landscape that will one day be able to support this and other local species.

This blog will document the evolution of this property as well as other landscape projects that I am creating.
