I've also mostly finished the front gardens. I planted only native plants - banksias, grevillias, paperbarks and native grasses. I planted many varieties of each plant. Mostly I used tube stock because they grow well and only cost $1 per plant instead of $8 - $20. When planted as tube stock most native plants will outgrow the more mature versions.
I still have to get some banksia ground covers for one small section of the garden, but I'll do that next Sunday at the markets.
Only thing left to do out the front is to deal with some drainage on the side of the house at the end of the drivewa and to get turf to fill in the gaps.

looking good Andy - must be so nice to be in and finally getting your hands dirty in the garden
I can just see the native birds going feral all over your garden. They love a good native garden just like the rest of us.
Nice to see you planting food for the wildlife. It should look awesome when it grows in.
Thanks :)
I'll have brown dirt stained hands in no time. Am already starting to get some of the old gardening callusses and nicks & scrapes back.
