A Family Day Out

On Saturday we had a family day out visiting the Mayfield Gardens in Oberon, and I just thought I would share some of the pictures with you!


The long driveway leading up to the gardens

A cute little door leading out from the walled garden

Looking out from the huge cascade...




They are only fairly new gardens, but we can imagine what these archways will look like when the roses are in full bloom!


The chicken houses... ( Dad was glad that our chickens couldn't see how fancy these houses were! =)



...the amphitheatre...











...and the front of the main house...


After we had been around the gardens we stopped at Hampton Forest for afternoon tea...




...and then in Lithgow at Hassan's Wall Lookout...

Overall it was quite an amazing day out!
