Planting Fashions

 About the same time the breeze block was coming in to prominence, coastal landscaping was taking its influence from a far away land.   For reasons that have never quite been explained, but perhaps it had to do with television, and programs like 77 Sunset Strip, our subtropical indigenous planting was replaced with plants more at home in the desert.

Timewarp gardens still remain dotted through the suburb.
