We first saw the house in Kleins Road on 30 May 2007. In the following 3 years I tried to reproduce the photos I took of the garden at that time. Then I almost stopped, but after 5 years I took one last series. Here are the results. This page is best viewed in full screen width. The years are 2007, 2009, 2009, 2010 and 2012.

When we first saw the house, the daisy bushes had a couple of solitary flowers on them. Since then, they've bloomed relatively well, presumably because of the irrigation we installed, though they're getting a bit old now. It's also interesting to note how much the Callistemons have grown, despite relatively heavy pruning. On the left, the tall yellow-blooming trees don't seem to have been there at all when we first saw the house. The one on the right definitely self-seeded. They're almost certainly Senna aciphylla, and that link suggests that they're weeds.

Here, of course, the big difference is the verandah. If I had taken the original photo from a little further away, the difference would be even more impressive. The smaller of the two birch trees (now almost without leaves) has now grown into the left of the photo.
When we first saw the house, we had little idea of how we would use the area. The remainder of the photos are a good indication of that: they're of areas we hardly use.

In this photo, the increase in the size of the taller birch tree is evident. And a number of the trees below have also grown significantly.

The view from the north hasn't changed much, so I'm no longer updating it:
