Wendy Whiteley's secret garden

Hidden away in Lavender Bay is a beautiful hidden garden designed, created and overlooked with great love and care by Wendy. It can be a short walk on it's own but better to make it part of a longer walk, exploring Blues Point in general. There are statues, hand crafted stairs and shady nooks. Take the stairs down through the tunnel under the rail line and you emerge into the sparkling vista of Lavender Bay, washed by the sounds of merry makers at Luna Park.       J

We are going to work on a plane and save the work as an OBJECT  to then be used in your 3D.  STEP 1 On the ArchiCAD file you are working on, start by importing an image of your fretwork in  AC (short for Archicad, I will be using this word a LOT, I just realized)  on a blank story level.  Click on the 'figure tool'. It looks like a little house icon. You can pretty much import almost any kind of file into AC with this tool, PDFs, JPEGs, TIFs.. like so..  After...

 A monster alts and adds from the noughties.... I think there was one small wall left of the original building that we added on to. Perched on the cliff edge overlooking Lurline Bay. We didn't do the detailed joinery or some of the odd finishes in wet areas. Great spaces though...
