Paul Bangay's Stonefields garden

Costa Georgiadis visits the home of one of Australia’s best-known garden designers - Paul Bangay.
Paul is known for his precise, formal gardens created in inner city suburbs, but at Stonefields he has designed a garden on grand scale, with the whole house and garden based around a glorious view across the central Victorian highlands.
Paul explains that he aims to build drama for visitors arriving at Stonefields: the driveway leads you past centuries-old gum trees, through a gatehouse, then walking in via a small courtyard, which leads you around a tight, enclosed corner to a big reveal as the house and breath-taking view are finally exposed.
Paul has won an OAM for his services to landscape gardening, but this is the home he created for himself and husband Barry.

This garden is so inauthentic. It's designed for a camera not any sort of meaningful function nor is it rooted to it's own place or traditions.
