Another view in the bedroom courtyard. Large window with mirror behind it with a bit of leadlight effect.
The bedroom courtyard actually has a waterfall effect going into the ponds. Only turn on the waterfall pump occasionally.
Another view of the waterfall from the other side. Ferns are a little browned off from the hot weather.
Every house has a junk space. This is the area where I am going to extend the house and build on an ensuite bathroom, walk in wardrobe and office space. It will not be done by the time you are here but I will have cleared up most of the rubbish.
In the bedroom courtyard. I guess 39 degrees centigrade was too hot for these candles. Being in this shady courtyard they had survived the heat at Xmas but today was too much for them. The switch on the wall is for the waterfall pump.

Inside the larger dining area. We had sleep overs on New Years Eve but it will have an eight person dining suite by the time you are here. We actually had one delivered prior to Xmas but they sent the wrong chairs and the table had splits in it so I am still trying to sort that mess out.
Looking back towards the kitchen. This was an exterior wall. The cupboard is hiding the water filters. Yes we do have filtered water in case you do not like Adelaide water.

Still in the main bedroom.
This was originally another bedroom but it is now connected to the main bedroom via walkthrough robes. It is set up as a private sitting room. Some of these pictures have gone fuzzy for some reason but I don't have time to fix them. They still give you the general idea.

The side garden at night. Probably should have used a different setting on the camera for these night time shots. Don't have time to fix them right now.
The is the fountain at night. Don't know why the lights are showing as single bands of light. The one in the left hand corner is just a little solar light. The blue one is just the mozzie lamp. The pond is actually illuminated by a 12 volt floodlight mounted on the back verandah.
The shade tree looks good with the lights on.
This is the colored lights in the barbeque area. Like I said I don't know how it is showing a band of light with curves in like it is.
This one is just the fountain at night but it is not very clear. It is the last one.
