Trust for Nature is an organisation that works to protect nature on private land; its members preserve remnant native vegetation and plant more – in the hope the birds and animals that once called the area home will return and prosper. Such properties are found all over Australia. At Flinders, Boonoorong is a 20-hectare property that has been replanted with native flora and is now home to kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and echidnas. It also offers a haven to five of the six species of frogs native to the Mornington Peninsula and, as we now know, the presence of frogs are a sign of environment wellbeing. Within this retreat is a spacious one-bedroom house that nestles into its setting. Designed using passive solar principles, it has a living room at the centre with the large bedroom at one end and a retreat/study at the other. Polished concrete floors flow throughout and work well with the large banks of timber-framed windows. Sea and bush views are everywhere.
