Random thought from the Garden

Xeroscape gardening in Melbourne..umm could I do a whole web site on that?

Thoughts for me:
I should leave the amazing Euphorbia grandidens in its temporary home. Just googled it, http://www.euphorbia.de/e_grandidens.htm , looks like it grows to 20M in RSA, better leave it where it is in the middle with plenty of room to grow.

Could move the bottle brush out the front with the other natives to gain a spot for the clothes line. Other options for the line are down the North breezeway, pain in the arse retractable that would stay up 95% of the time or a old hills hoist in centre of grass that can also have cover to act as sun shade for kids.
Move agarve from pot to between yuccas on side.

Shade.
Michael's option or a Solar Pergola http://pergolaland.com.au/public_panel/pages.php?id=27 system covering sliding doors and triangular sails on either side of that or Janet's idea.
