Wildwood Garden

When in Bilpin you must stop for an apple pie. Of the many cafes in town this one is my new favourite. The service is friendly, the gardens make for a lovely view whilst dining, and the food is great.
Double check their opening hours as they are seasonal.

its a very nice experience with my family. Should visit!

Very beatiful garden with lot of interesting sculptures. Owner is very nice and helpful

Wildwood Gardens.

Dedicated to Wayne and Sue,
where all credit is due.

I see splendour as I walk today,
among the treasures of life at play.
To listen to Nature and be as one,
to be amazed at the sights to come.

I rest among Nature's gifts,
and quietly set my mind adrift.
I view the world through misted eyes,
so beautiful. I just want to cry.

Like the golden leaves upon the ground,
and the whispering of Nature's sound.
Rustling creatures going about their play,
my worries now, Nature does allay.

The morning dew, bending, a blade of grass,
a butterfly wafting gently passed.
a plaintiff cry of a bower bird's call,
swaying trees above, so tall.

I am alone but not alone,
as I sit here in this awesome throne,
A throne made not of any man-made kind,
a seat of calmness for my soul to find.

I feel the centuries of past gone souls,
I let my mind relax to play the role.
Long gone life's of ancient times,
my rested mind now acts and mimes.

I see myself play the life of a dragonfly,
as it wisps and darts flying low and high.
Now I am lizard darting here and there,
or a parrot's colours, which nought, can compare.

No longer in my own time zone,
mesmerized now, in my lofty throne.
I hear the tinkling of a babbling stream
like the sound of a Franz Liszt's ivory theme

I slowly rise from this magic place,
time now to retreat back to the human race.
Oh I wish that I could remain,
and be part of Nature's loved domain.

Still, I guess there will be another day,
when I can sit and watch Nature play.
Please, let it be sooner than late,
please Nature, let this be my fate.
