Secret Gardens of Garigal

Off the beaten track, there are nooks and crannies in the scrub, where wildflowers bud and bloom but are never seen (well, not by many people anyway).   Here I found sprays of Boronias at their peak, beautifully lit by the early sun proudly beaming down on them. Boronias, and in fact most Australian wildflowers, bloom best in winter, finding the dry summer months a time to conserve their energy.

Maggie Britton

With an warm, sophisticated tone, Maggie Britton sings smooth evocative jazz. Maggie is singer, songwriter, producer and singing mentor. Back in the '60's, Maggie, fresh from a modelling career in Sydney, travelled to New Zealand with her manager, on tour, and to make a record. "Come On Down" was a smash hit... Here she is, singing that song and chatting with Brian Henderson. More recently, Maggie has performed in major cities including Paris and Tokyo.  This following performance at The Basement, showcases a few evergreens that she does so well.    Maggie's album "Ditto" is available on iTunes  or on Maggie Britton's Official Website Enjoy a sample here.....

Boronia sprays.  The sun admires each one,  glowing and beaming.
