Hi Angela, great idea to plant a tree! We lived in Alice Springs for 6 years and found that a couple of shade trees made such a huge difference to our enjoyment of being out in the garden, We loved being outside for breakfast and later in the day/early evening. We noticed that Chinese Elm trees grew well and relatively quickly and we had a fast growing Mullberry tree there too, (although the fruit do stain when you tread on them). Brazilian Peppercorn trees grow very fast there too, but become a huge bush if you don't keep pruning them to the shape you want as they grow. I love that you're planting natives too, as they attracted birds to our garden, along with the trees. Murrayas are a lush green 2-3 metre fast growing shrub which thrive in Alice too. We planted several after realizing they grow there in full sun and/or part shade. They have white flowers with a beautiful perfume.

apparently you have never tried public transport in my hometown. tampa, fl. it is hideous. max I have traveled is about 1.25 hours. worst trip and greatest was the 24 miles from crapo, say crepe o, to cambridge md. I once counted 49 hairpin turns, during that trip. all that on land so flat, you were lucky if it was not underwater.

“We wanted to ensure that everything was clean to the eye. A luxury yet straight forward feel is what we were committed to achieving with this property. The Brushed Brass finishes throughout the home perfectly match with the timber floors and striking black windows. The combination of warm and cold tones makes it a smooth aesthetic to style!” “The hardware in this home was certainly a feature which we got many compliments on. The Brushed Brass adds the touch of traditional and warmth and helps tie all our pieces together.” “The lighting in the house was also an important decision for us. We wanted to bring something unexpected, and our feature chandelier light from Montauk Lighting was the perfect addition to the home. The rounded features of the light matched subtly with our feature arch windows and the other pendants and wall lights.” “We also received great feedback on the size of the home and the great layout, which makes it a perfect family home and one that is great for entertaining! This home has it all!”
