Goolgowi pond and stream

First water feature in New South Wales, in sunny Goolgowi. It didn’t take long for the birds to find it! Or the dog!

Carnegie stream (MG Gardens garden design)

I finished this stream a few weeks ago. I can’t claim credit for the design – that goes to Meg Geary of MG Gardens. Meg came up with a great design for the space, and I just built the stream where she planned! The rest of the excellent landscaping was done by Jay from Eco […]

We knew we wanted a pond were we already had what we called “The Bog”. It was a damp, weed-filled ditch that needed to be dealt with, but […]
