A charming, single story, pale yellow colonial style house with a white veranda and pitched roof, framed by dense, dark green Tasmanian bushland and tall gum trees.  The image uses a shallow depth of field, blurring the foreground foliage to create a soft, almost miniature like view of the house, which sits at the end of a long, gated driveway.

Black and white photograph showing a tapered stone spire framed perfectly through a dark, arched stone window or doorway.

The arch is made of rough, dark brickwork, creating a strong contrast with the bright sky visible through the opening and the distant spire, which rises above a partial stone wall.
