I’m not sure Lizzie. Sometimes I’m not sure whether bent or broken branches are from kangaroos or wallabies. If they are low branches that have been attacked, it’s often hares. They are quite large. Compared with my late little poodle who weighed 4 kg, the hares must be at least 5 kg. I really need to catch them at it, but I think most of the activity is at night.
Lovely purple smoke bush! Pity it has to be put in a cage.
We've just had a few mornings of frost here, so I have started to wrap up the more delicate plants in my garden to provide protection against the frost. I was too careless last winter and lost quite a few specimens. I have wrapped up: Philotheca myoporoides, Diosma hirsuta 'Pink Fountain' (just starting to flower, much too early), Polygala myrtifolia (still in flower!), Amaryllis belladonna, Solanum jasminoides 'Alba' and Rosmarinus officinalis 'Pointe du Raz'.
Hello Papi Jo. Yes the fencing is a bit off putting, but at least we can enjoy our plants instead of having them broken off and chewed. We have become used to thevfences. Don’t really notice them now.

I think we will need to widen the protective fence around the purple smoke bush! It’s trying to get out.
I wish it would grow up instead of out.
That's gorgeous, Pat! So many flowers you can't see the leaves...
Thanks Liri. I’m pleased with it too.
Do the wallabies like to eat smoke bushes, Pat?

Fragile plants in their winter coats.
Still plenty of interest in your garden, Papi Jo.
Hope the delicate plants survive this winter.
