The garden maze they planted is due to open some time this year, but I don't think it will ... the trees don't look big enough. The rest of the gardens are beautiful, and they have cut back lots of the older trees so the view is amazing again !!! Yes, it has been lots drier this year. It has been raining most of the night here, though !<BR/><BR/>Take care, MeowMeow (aka Connie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05806724258331021528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-1156335163504897152006-08-23T22:12:00.000+10:002006-08-23T22:12:00.000+10:00Your post reminded me that I'm way overdue for a t...Your post reminded me that I'm way overdue for a trip to the Dandenongs. (Did you have Devonshire Tea?).<BR/><BR/>Dad and I went up to the Sky High restaurant last year and were surprised how they've done up the place compared to the last time we were there. Yes, derelict was the right word for the way it used to be. That garden they planted must be coming along nicely too.<BR/><BR/>We got some rain, but not as much as you describe. I'm jealous! I think this year has been much drier than last year, unfortunately.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456736523331076619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-1156297586445226102006-08-23T11:46:00.000+10:002006-08-23T11:46:00.000+10:00WOW!
