Re: New Zealand and Austrlia in November

Dear Richard,
November is peak viewing time in both Aussie and NZ.  The gardens in NZ are
wonderful, roses, Rhodos etc and if you want to visit gardens open to the
public during November in Australia, you can purchase the Australian Open
Garden Scheme book with coloured photos, times of opening and how to get
there.   We always open our gardens in November under the official Open
garden Scheme during November - sometimes twice - early Spring for Magnolias
and bulbs and cherry blossoms in October and always November as being a peak
time.  The book costs [I think] around Aus$ 16
