One of the historic gardens, Yengo in Queens Avenue, has a sanctuary for the rare and very sweet little Parma Wallabies, a native species that has been re-introduced into Australia after they were wiped out by foxes and feral cats. Visit the Yengo Sculpture Gardens website to learn about this privately-funded worth-while project.
Windyridge, Queens Avenue, "a garden to intoxicate the senses". Designed by Gordon Sykes, work began on the garden as you see it today in 1997. Windyridge dates back to 1877 and was originally part of Yengo. In 1995 Wai and Roger davidson purchased Windyridge and began re-developing the garden. From a lawn with tall trees to a garden of light and shade, of seasonal colour and exotic cool climate plants, ponds, waterfall and meandering paths. With lots of seats to sit and ponder or areas for a picnic lunch.
