“Fernstone” Knights Hill via Jamberoo JAMBEROO $1,790,000 View 7 days a week by appointment

J

amberoo, looking back: European history in the valley began in the early 19th century when the cedar-cutters moved through the rainforests gathering this valuable timber. Pioneer settlers followed in the early 1820s with William Davis receiving the first land grant in 1821. Michael Hyam who was a property owner by the late 1830s laid out the private village of Jamberoo in 1841. The Main South Coast Road formed the northern boundary of this village and at the western end of the town Hyam gave out lots for Protestant Churches. The Presbyterian church of St Stephen stands on the original lot. A sign outside the only fuel station in Jamberoo proclaims the town as the birthplace of co-operative dairy production in Australia. The first cooperative butter factory in Australia was begun at Jamberoo in 1884.

Jamberoo sits at the western end of Minnamurra River which flows from Minnamurra Falls.

Positioned midway between Jamberoo and Robertson, Fernstone enjoys a fresh pristine environment while still being only 20 minutes to the white beaches of Kiama and other

South Coast favourite spots.

The home built, in 2006, is surrounded by 100 acres of stunning rainforest, small patches of cleared ground and beautifully crafted gardens and a very productive veggie patch. With 3 double bedrooms, all with ensuites and a separate studio apartment, family and friends can all enjoy the fresh air, the stunning view of the Upper Kangaroo Valley and the many places to site and watch the wildlife.

Double garage plus extra parking, large machinery shed and workshop give the new owner lots of places to complete those tasks that come with life in the country.

Little extras like the Queensland hoop pine finish to the kitchen, spotted gum timber floors, heated tiled floor in the bathrooms, very spacious butlers pantry, double glazed windows and ducted conditioning make living in this home a dream all year round.

An inspection will have you wanting to stay a little longer to take in the magic sunset while sipping a cool beverage on one of the many verandahs.

• Elite Australian Country Residence with a French Provincial Flavour • 100 acres of stunning rainforest, natural bush & cleared pastures • High Quality built Home with three Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms + Powder Room • Separate Studio Apartment fully self-contained • Wraparound Vernadahs with cosy enteraining areas • Features – Timber floors, Heated tiled floor in bathrooms, double glazed windows, • ducted air-cond.

• Absolute privacy with an endless rural panaroma • Superb Quality throughout

Matthew was severely beaten, robbed, tortured and left alone, to be discovered 18 hours later. He died five days afterwards. The reason for this brutal crime? Matthew Shepard was gay.

Five weeks after this horrific event, Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theatre Company travelled to Laramie Wyoming.

Over the course of the next year

how to design a formal garden Planning and planting a formal garden can transform your outdoors.

With their simple geometric designs and defined edges, you arrange your plants, hedges, and walkways symmetrically in in circular, rectangular, or square designs. This guide shows you the kinds of plants to use, how to look after them and the importance of having a focal point.

STEP 1. PLAN YOUR FORMAL GARDEN Start with a sheet of paper and sketch out the area you want to turn into a formal garden. Consider which plants and trees you’ll use and where you’ll put them. Also think about pathways, the use of pavers and walls. Remember, a formal garden is all about symmetry, repetition and structure.

STEP 2. CHOOSE THE PLANTS When choosing the plants to use in your formal garden, make sure the climate is right for them. Choose three to five different plants for your garden and repeat the order their planted in, to create a symmetrical pattern.

STEP 3. EASY TO GROW PLANTS FOR A FORMAL GARDEN. If you’re just starting out, there are three plants that are ideal for creating a formal garden - English Box, Standard Lilly Pilly and Lavender. They’re easy to grow and simple to maintain.

STEP 4. LOOK AFTER YOUR FORMAL GARDEN As well as making sure your formal garden is well-watered and fertilised, it’s important to trim your plants up to four times a year to keep them in good shape. Ideally, this should happen at the end of every season.

homesguideliving

STEP 2

Trim the English Box so that it stays low and looking formal. Cut the Lilly Pilly so that it keeps its round shape. Trim the lavender to keep it looking neat and tidy.

STEP 5. CREATE A FOCAL POINT IN THE GARDEN A focal point is one of the most effective ways of creating a sense of design and impact in your garden. It’s something that draws your attention. It could be by placing plants at the end of a pathway, a statue or water feature, or a large tree.

STEP 6. KEEP YOUR COLOURS SIMPLE BUT VARY THE HEIGHT Some of the best formal gardens are very simple. So when planning your design, stick to an easy colour palette. Pastels work well together, so does mixing bold colours together, and bold and pastels of the same tone look good. Also use plants of different heights. They are visually appealing and help add texture to your garden.

STEP 7. BE ADVENTUROUS Formal gardens are very stylised, but you can still be adventurous. Try using native plants or even exotic Mediterranean plants to give your formal garden a different look.

pumpkin scones Beneath this pumpkin’s thick, mottled skin is a bright orange flesh that becomes deliciously sweet when baked, or boiled and mashed for our fluffy scones.

INGREDIENTS • 600g Kent pumpkin, seeded, peeled, coarsely chopped • Butter, at room temperature, to grease • 450g (3 cups) self-raising flour • Pinch of salt • 60g chilled butter, cut into 1cm pieces • 250ml (1 cup) buttermilk

Photography by Rob Palmer

METHOD Step 1 Cook pumpkin in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Use a potato masher to mash until a coarse puree forms. Set aside to cool.

Step 2 Preheat oven to 240°C. Rub a baking tray with butter to grease. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Rub

the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add pumpkin and buttermilk. Use a flat-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture just starts to hold together.

Step 3 Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead until smooth.

Use your hands to press out the dough until about 2cm thick. Use a round 5.5cm pastry cutter to cut 15 discs from the dough.

Place, about 1cm apart, on the prepared tray. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden and scones sound hollow when tapped on the base.

blueberry scones These scones are even more delicious with the addition of a punnet of blueberries.

INGREDIENTS • 250g strong (baker’s) plain flour • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 50g unsalted butter, chilled, diced, plus extra to serve • 50g caster sugar • 1 punnet (125g) blueberries • 175ml buttermilk

in the sugar, blueberries and buttermilk, and mix to form a dough.

Step 3 Dust your hands with flour and form the dough into a 20cm round. Mark 8 wedges in the dough with a knife. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden. Allow to cool, break the scones into 8, then split in half and spread with butter.

METHOD Step 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dust a large baking tray with flour.

Step 2 Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a large bowl and mix well. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir
