I live near the beach about 30 minutes drive south of Fremantle, so probably similar temperature range, but no winter frost here. I found this on the net [baby tears].

I have seen this in nurseries and know it will grow around here with the right degree of protection and moisture.
I sometimes kid myself on that I have a "Balinese" garden, but really it's just a large pool, heated off the roof, with an open sided structure at one end and an assortment of mainly Balinese ornaments and windchimes. Nice for having a drink on a hot day, but hardly classes as a swim-up bar! I'm in the process of building a shadehouse and I've put lattice around the patio, but I know I will never match yours-----or Anne's. I admire the patience and dedication of both of you.
