Fine lines The straight lines of modernist architecture require precision building work, but Tony and Margaret, the owners of Old Shed Hill, weren’t about to cut corners. Raw talent When graphic designer Alison Fraser started experimenting with ceramics and textile art, her pieces quickly found an audience. Now living in Bowral, Alison has added cyanotypes to the mix and will feature them in her first solo exhibition. A garden masterpiece Prittlewell is an outstanding Highlands garden boasting many elements, including Japanese and gravel gardens, parkland and woodland, wisteria and rose walks.

The native advantage Warren Walker’s native plant nursery, Wariapendi, has planted more than 1.2 million natives throughout south-east Australia. Warren explains the benefits of natives. The forgotten tutor Twenty years ago, Janet Epps discovered her great-great-uncle John Epps had been a tutor to the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana and Maria, daughters of Tsar Nicholas II.
