Creating a Canberra garden

This 1960's era house in Canberra has a back yard devoid of plants. There are two large rosemary plants and some feral fruit trees along the fence. A ragged lawn is growing over pine bark.

The oversize 'family' size clothes line, shed and carport are the only structures in the garden. The cement paths are uneven and a trip hazard. The fences are all in a state of disrepair and too low.

Backyard privacy is important. There's nothing like walking out of a morning with bed hair, coffee and bad clothes to be greated by a cheerful faces over the fence.
