Waterfall Cottage gardens, situated on 3 hectares of rainforest on
Sydney's Northern Beaches, are an integration of exotics into the bushland. Paths, steps
and timber bridges provide access over the
gullies and garden sculptures, ornamental ponds, aviaries and
a gazebo add interest to the gardens. Giant eastern water dragons around the ponds add an
unreal touch to the scene and sometimes a wallaby or lyrebirds can be spotted.

Finished in April 2005 - a living sculpture inspired by the Mud Maiden
in The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, England, sculptor, Belinda Villani, created
"Lily" with a steel frame filled with clay and covered in moss with Muehlenbeckia
for hair. Her head is carved from sandstone - doesn't she look wonderful!
