Julia Gillard wins leadership challenge and will become Australia's first female Prime Minister.

Today Australia gained its first woman Prime Minister in Ms Julia Gillard and I had fun enjoying one of the passions that 50 years ago, I was denied the opportunity to study, because I was a female but have since overcome the male profession stereotype and mastered. I am referring to my love of another art form, that of landscape gardening.

After the announcement of Ms Gillard's appointment, I went to review the Flying Fish Point Beachfront B & B and being a nature lover, I was most impressed with the beautiful landscaping of the garden and the clever use of space.

I saw some great ideas that would be easy to duplicate using above ground pools. Amazing how lovely this small pool looks with a deck around it set amongst palm trees in front of a view.

There was a long narrow pond in the garden and stepping stones down the center of it, a lovely outdoor pavilion. I will always adore beautiful garden design.

I felt good today that it makes no difference what sex you are, in regards to being our Prime Minister, or who landscapes a garden.
