Photo/s of the day.
Come on a walk around the suburb with me and Glen...
Every one of those homes is a display home. So no one lives in them.
Elmridge Parkway, the main street through Malvern Springs.
Natural bushland on the left, landscaped natives on the right, as well as a play area, and houses still being built.
Walking up through the landscaped park (that you can see above) towards a new boutique zone of Malvern Springs known as 'Naturaliste.'
The roads have only newly been put in. On the left you can see the outermost border of Ellenbrook; bushland.
Nuytsia floribunda or the Western Australian Christmas Tree. One of the world's largest species of mistletoe - so large, that it is a free-standing tree that parasitises from hundreds of other trees (and underground electric cables). Yes, it really is that orange. Settlers called them 'Christmas trees' because they flowered this brightly around November/December.
Nuytsia floribunda again, just starting to flower.
There are two Australian magpies in this flowering swamp paperbark.
Land zoned for housing.
Snellosaurus, the last living dinosaur; and the sky. On the left, white sand to be landscaped into parkland.
A better view of the area zoned for parkland. The white sand (yes, that is the natural colour of the sand out here; we're basically just ancient sand dunes a thirty five minute drive inland) will be landscaped with grass and native plants, as well as pathways, play equipment and a gazebo. A small section of natural bushland (that you can see in the distance) will be kept as a focal point.
That's all folks! :)
