Coucals of Mount Crosby is situated 30 klms west of Brisbane, Australia in the D’Aquilar ranges.
The 4 acres have been landscaped using tonnes of Helidon Sandstone..
The raised garden beds are flanked by 30 metre Spotted Gums and many other native trees originally situated on the property.
These gardens have been created by Jim and Jan with just the aid of a Bob Cat machine to move some of the larger rocks.
Jan designed and worked the gardens with Jim cutting rocks and building the many gazebos and seating areas.
