Loved the feeling she achieved with the angophora's as I grew up and live in the parts of Sydney where they grow and she depicts the architecture as it still is to an extent today (progress!) . It also particularly helps to correct the unheralded contribution of women to architecture and generally shows that architecture is produced by a team not just a celebrity architect(Walter Burley Griffen)."
