Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Australian Wooing An Australian Wooing Chapter One Opulence makes a good nest. The Launching Place was a garden in the heart of the Australian mountains, with a fairy lake where waterlilies shone like pale stars, and beyond the lake a border of shrubs and trees from all over the world. Two stately pines from Switzerland, some Himalayan blackberries which took kindly to the climate and bore fruit; roses that clambered on pergolas higher than their ancestors ever did; a great white tree that burst into bloom at Christmas, called "Lily of the Valley" from the resemblance its pendant flowers bore to the little English bulbs. The garden rose in terraces until the topmost walk was like a hilltop, whence a cunningly devised descent led down to a long and tortuous fern gully with an elusive creek creeping in and out among the shadows. The formation of the house was not due to any emanation from an architects brain, but from the sheer perseverance of the rooms themselves in seeking front places to look at the view.
