Garden village


The City of the Blue Mountains comprises a ribbon of small towns/villages running along a ridge and bordered on each side with national park - our economy mostly depends on tourism.  Each town has its own character and Leura is probably the most popular with high class homes, speciality shops, good eating and garden prettiness.  This mural in Leura mall celebrates the garden delights of the village as does this rather nice mosaic on the wall of the public toilets.

  2. I know those murals well and particularly like the first mural. It sums up Leura so well, a place full of beautiful gardens.

    1. Oh those beautiful gardens. They make me feel so incompetent as a gardener.

    1. Lost them? Did they die or just not grow in the first place ( which happens with most seeds I plant).

    1. I.n general I am not a fan of mosaics but find there is a subtlety in this one that I also find pleasing.

  6. Beautiful. The mural is wonderful; the mosaic is almost evocative of a Monet painting.
