Garden 7
Lucas Parklands
Ian & Lee Lucas
A search for a setting to combine the beauty of music, gardens and rainforest. The potential of our property was immediately evident but no garden or natural environment can be in balance whilst infested with lantana and our land was being strangled. We were aware of a creek, rock formations, waterfalls large and small that sprayed water in the wet season and a thousand other delights. All this on our thirty acres!!
The property was named Lucas Parklands in anticipation of what we could create. The lantana was pulled out by the roots piece by piece. It revealed its secrets, figs, cycads, palms and many plants we didn’t recognise. Whilst constructing our first music room we began the job of transferring our land into the park we dreamt it could be. Now the garden is under control we devote our energy into creating a second music room of a quality suited to attract both international artists and the younger professional performer. We will build a studio in which to record their music.
It’s our intention to maintain the balance of our rainforest, protect our special ecosystem whilst providing a beautiful venue for artists and guests to enjoy. The Hinterland environment and its artistic mindset is an ideal location.
