POOL 2 POND
pool - Cl + plants + fish = pond
Some pool owners must be wondering what they can do with their backyard pool. Water restrictions will get tougher making pools harder to maintain, maybe the kids have left home, the pool needs work or the idea of a micro-wetland in the backyard just sounds nice ....
A chorus of frogs, resident water dragons ....
... daily visits from many birds and amazing dragonflies.
We hope you can take a quick dip.

When Stewart decided to landscape the backyard pool and add a few fish the local wildlife moved in.
Five species of frogs, water dragons, a heath monitor, neon dragonflies, ducklings, skinks, snakes, tadpoles, kingfishers, snails, kookaburras, goannas, spiders, waterbugs, blue tongued lizards, tawny frog mouths, hawks and many more creatures visit our micro-wetland in the burbs.
We hope you will be inspired to welcome a little wildlife into to your backyard.
Please take a quick look.
Our pride and joy - an Eastern snake-necked turtle moved into our pond over summer in 2007. see reptiles page
