Suburban Sydney - Hornsby

Winifred, I can see your point - yes, if you're in Australia, be Australian.  Trouble is, I think we're more English than the English!!!  And I, in particular, LOVE English-style houses!

Here is a newish block of units I photographed yesterday, where friends of mine live:


As you can see, it's only three stories high and has lovely gardens.  Our streets are much wider than English ones - here you can park on both sides and still have two cars going in opposite directions.  It will be lovely in a few more weeks when the jacarandas are in bloom.

This is the children's play area at the corner of the street, with more apartment blocks behind:

It is wonderful to have so much space
on the minor roads, I would love that. Some of our visitors have to park in the lay-by at the end of our road as there is just room for 1 car
outside our garage and most of our neighbours have more than one car and it can get congested at the w/e when all families seem to have their nearest and dearest with them all driving 4x4s!
Great for you to be looking forward to Spring when we are beginning to look a tad Autumnal. xxx
