Each room has a rural outlook and views of trees. The garden is filled with grevillea and flowering shrubs which the blue wrens, silvereyes, pardalotes, willy wagtails and honeyeaters love. In summer you will also see flocks of Muir's corellas (cacatua pastinator pastinator)... they are the noisy characters that look like cockatoos. Behind the house is a wandoo grove, often inhabited by the local kangaroos. The stars at night will astound you and remind you why it’s called the Milky Way.
