Peter Virag, Red Sand Garden (March theme: Outback)

This aerial abstract of the Red Sand Garden is my interpretation of the Great Australian Outback. I really loved the interesting patterns & rich colours of the Red Sand Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne.The journey through the Australian Garden starts with the Sand Garden where the expanse of red sand contrasts with grey foliage. On the northern hill, mass plantings of Acacia binervia and the Spinifex sericeus are used to stabilise the sandhills.The lower slopes are covered by a carpet of muntries (Kunzea pomifera), fruit used by Aborigines.
