Cubby

This is a two storey cubby I made around an oak. It has a top storey viewing deck and underneath was a sandpit. You can climb out through the roof and climb higher, though few have been game. It also had an elaborate system of pulleys and ropes for opening hatches and trapdoors a la Heath Robinson.

Shed roof in the garden at Gembrook

This is the wheelie bin shed roof made of ferro cement and copper pipe. It was initially going to be a dovecote, but then I thought better of it and decided to go with bees. As I'm a bit allergic to them I thought if the hive is perched two metres above ground I won't get stung. I never got around to getting a hive together so it has only ever been home to a ringtail possum and some starlings. It does light up the garden very nicely of a night and has been called Gembrooks Crown Casino by one local wit. Certainly been a bit of a traffic stopper!
