One great thing about rocks: you don't have to mow them. Oh—and you don't have to water or feed them either. Low maintenance landscaping design? Onto something here? Because brain cells are synapsing away over a few delightful things to ponder. Alright then, it's on...

When discovering a well-known beachfront, it's obvious that the sun is the star of the show. With gorgeous oceanfront views and an abundance of entourage, all that's needed is a cool beverage and eye shades. You can then bask in the beauty of coastal landscapes....
You don't have to water rocks…This leads to an idea which may have some merit. Moreover, Sydney Airport is getting some new digs and deserves an extra shot of Australia. It is, after all, the most popular tourist destination, being home to an opera house known...
There are superbly designed fashion ensembles that encourage, and so deserve careful thought for accessorising. We purchase a hat, tie, or special jewellery just to compliment and reward the design. "Ah," we say. "Perfect!" In reflecting that mind-set, there are...

It’s always a joy when you see geometric patterns in architectural landscape design that reveals its fascinating structure. It is unfortunate (and not the architect’s fault) when the budget is so restrictive or an owner is really conservative that the structure has...
Not only the sound, but the power of all that water reacting to the force of gravity gives us a rush like no other. Then there's the mist created by water pulverizing the surface below. It rises higher than the source, giving the whole scene the depth of another...

From a satellite, it resembles an old earthbound Amerindian arrowhead. Geologically, Tasmania holds the mystery of the difference between Australia and Antarctica. We will take a closer look at Tasmanian design and cultural dedication. How is Tasmania so different?...
