Great thread DFB, my stories much the same, started in Nurseries, spent a bit of time in Vineyards, moved to parks and spent some time in Queens gardens, Hyde park, Sir James Mitchell, moved to civil construction for a few years(hated it) and ended up on the golf course.

My pride plant is a Toothbrush Grevillea, the resident Wattlebirds, Treecreepers, White Plumed Honeyeaters, Firetails and Superb Wrens absolutely adore the nectar.
After the flowers slowly die off, the Cootamundra Wattles start flowering signifying deep winter.
Different wattle species colours are amazing during winter.

Right on mate, the birds and wildlife are where its at for me now after studying land management and realizing they are much more appreciative than humans. We have a family of Blue Wrens in the backyard at the moment, we must be doing something right for them to be there.
This is my favourite in the garden, excuse the pics its a grey, wet and windy morning out there. Its Grevillea Pink Surprise, large bush or can be pruned into a small tree. It flowers non stop all year and is a centre of activity for birds, bees and insects.
