Australian Country Homes – September 2019

6 Australian Country HOMES

S

pring is in the air and the warmer weather

means we’re all looking forward to spending

more time outdoors. Many of the houses

featured in this issue have beautiful

garden settings and hopefully they will provide design

inspiration as well as the impetus to get out and create an

oasis of your own. In south-east Queensland, Ipswich’s

Toronto is a cute doll’s house dressed in pink and

surrounded by manicured hedges and garden beds while Godshill in the Bunya Mountains

is a wonderful holiday house enveloped by towering trees of the nearby national park.

Over in the West, a couple has put down roots after a lifetime of travel at Guildford in the

Swan Valley and created a garden of bright colours and meandering pathways, perfect for

quiet refl ection. Our service feature, Spring Awakening, showcases the latest furniture,

tools and accessories to make your garden bloom.

Garden enthusiasts and history buff s alike are in for a treat with the story on the historic

Tasmanian homestead at Woolmers Estate, which is also home to a beautiful rose garden,

where more than 5000 plants from 30 rose families turn on a truly spectacular display

in spring and summer. Meanwhile, if the walls could talk at Camden Park on Sydney’s

south-western periphery, we’d learn much about pioneering pastoral history and the seven

generations of Macarthurs who have called the property home since it was built in 1835.

Perricoota station is another example of living history with its grand homestead on the banks

of the Murray River. We hope you enjoy this issue and look forward to

seeing you for the next one, which goes on sale December 12.
