There is a wonderful program called Open Gardens Australia where people open their wonderful gardens to the public on weekends in particular. I did have in my diary to attend one at Caboolture some time ago, but something happened and I didn't get there. Today I found a notice on a shop window about one at Beachmere, and I am looking forward to seeing it.
It is called Kerryville at 744 Beachmere Road, Beachmere. I often wonder how I can get to see the garden as clearly from the road as I pass, there is an interesting garden behind the trees that face the road. I pass it several times a day often, and each time my curiosity gains momentum. Amazing that I should discover it's opening days on the weekend of April 26th and 27th. There is a donation of $7 requested and I am sure it will be well worth the visit.
On the Open Gardens website it says "Kerryville garden
Bridges cross ponds fringed with willows and dietes in a garden alive with colourful jacarandas, poincianas and weeping melaleucas. Archways and arbours festooned in wisteria, stephanotis, lady slipper vine and mandevilla. 'Duchesse de Brabant' and other old-fashioned roses. Hibiscus garden; palms and tropical foliage." There is also a photo on this page if you follow the link on Kerryville garden.

According to information the place was purchased in 1998 - a neglected former fish farm. Read here.
