The little staircase was a bonus. I’m ex-Central Coast… back in the early 70s at Terrigal when it was a quiet little village.

You might wanna check the way you spelled ‘knockout’ hehe. Anyway, many peeps believe the Jacaranda is native to Oz but it’s actually from Brazil. They say if a Jacaranda flower falls on you when you walk underneath, you’re blessed with good fortune. I tried the other day… walked to and fro several times, jumped up and down, yelled abuse, shook my fist and did all that… but nothing… NOTHING. Not even a miserable leaf!

Gorgeous! There’s a town north of here called Grafton that has planted thousands of them, and about this time each year they have the Jacaranda Festival. Imagine a whole town dressed in purple!
