    You get a mention on Monte Carlo DP today!

    Impressive entrance. Just the size of those blocks and imagining the weight....I'm thinking of this cos we are building a wall here at the moment to enclose a new olive. The oleander you probably don't remember in front of the terrace died...

    So many parks in Sydney have similar entrances - must have been the style of the era. I can only surmise that at one stage, sandstone must have been relatively cheap and easily come by. Sure isn't nowadays!
