Haven't got a fence. Just a huge expanse of turf one way (turf farm) and the sheds for the farm I am on the other way. Have to look over them to see the neighbours.
Can here their blues though. They are experts when they get started.

Neat idea this.Over one neighbour's fence in Perth I saw the teenage son and mate partaking of some concoction in a coke bottle that was in a bucket.Looked interesting.:)(don't think it was rugosa leaves tho.)

| Probably looked somewhat like cleome - lol!!! My mum asked me one day, with a very suspicious tone, what was that plant - pretty sure she thought I was growing something illegal! |

I'd need binoculars to look over mine, but then... I DO drive down country town streets staring at what roses are planted. Seymour is a BEAUTY, going out toward the racecourse...
All I can hear is people yelling at their sheep dogs.. GET BACK!! GO ROUND YOU B******! SIT! SIT! SIT! DAMMIT! Apart from that no trampolining midnight leapers, get out there with the video camera, might earn dollar on Funiest Home Video, it's worth $7000 a night!!! |

Frosty paddocks, lots of newborn lambs the hum of a far off tractor. Kookaburras on fence posts and some little wrens "swearing" at the old owl who for some reason has decided to spend the day in "their" peppercorn tree - all he wants to do is sleep! Over in the distance there is the old fox who is trotting across the paddock to see what delights are in the offering. That is what I can see over the neighbours fence.

I like my neighbors who live over the fence from my farm. They are far enough away but near enough should I need them.
When my hubby passed away they looked after the place till I could sort things out.Even organised the havest planting for me .Good neighbors are priceless.They even love roses . |

Last night our sheepdogs were barking madly from their own fenced compound. It turned out that our neighbour's pet kangaroo had decided to have a looksee around our paddocks. We got up and the dear little thing took some bread from our hands, ignored the dogs, scratched its chest and hopped back home. Otherwise, our view 'over the fence' is a bit like Leyla's ... distant tractors, a gentle mob of Murray Greys down the valley a little, the other side of the hill is a mixed orchard of oranges, stone fruit, apples and in the mornings the mist follows the brook and winds down through the valley like a ghostly serpent. Lambs graze, cows moo, donkeys bray and, faintly, in the distance, there is the faint hum of those poor sods going to work down in the big smoke. You wouldn't be dead for quids, would you?

| I grew up in the city; typical suburb with neighbour's house only a few metres away. My first move was to a small country village, house blocks a little larger there, and often vacant blocks between the houses. Last move to the farm - no other house in sight. I can see the neighbour's paddocks, and the "hill" where another neighbour grows potatoes. For months this view has been BROWN (and this is my least favourite colour), but now, following the rain, it is green as far as I can see. It was so depressing over the summer - dust storms, carting tank water, failed crops and brown, bare paddocks. Now the new crops are growing, the tank is full, every dam on the farm is full. Outside my garden fence the sheep are grazing - enjoying the green feed after a diet of grain for months. Inside my garden the lawn is brown after some very severe frosts, the garden looks bare as all the roses are pruned, but the daisies are flowering and the newly planted roses are showing their new growth. You can have the city and close neighbours, I've found my little piece of paradise. |

| When I look over my neighbours' fences I don't see anything particularly odd but I also don't see any roses!! Argh!!! How can these people not grow roses!? I am ashamed to live adjacent to people with such dubious taste. When people ask me why I think this is such a terribly ugly thing to do I simply reply with "It's pretty well the same as painting the gables of their roof purple with yellow polka dots but the rest of the house fluro green." They don't understand! Argh!!! How can these people not see the importance of this plant!? I need this forum to survive. Finally a collection of really nice people who are very knowledgable and don't say "Huh? What's that? Is that the new Dilmah" when the term Hybrid Tea is mentioned! I have strayed a little of the subject here but Grrrr! If I hear "Roses and rhododendrons are pretty similar aren't they?" again I think I'll scream. |

| After my neighbours cut away this huge rampage weed vine, which had been covering their tree and corner fence. Over the course of months, I kept hearing what I thought was gobbling!! I was beginning to wonder if I was losing the plot. But after this weed was cleared away, low and behold, the other neighbour behind them, have a yard of turkeys and geese. So between the honking and gobbles, it's an interesting sounding neighbourhood!!
It certainly beats the neighbours from hell (opposite side) who moved out a while back!! I hated the colourbond fenceline which travels along 4 properties. But in the course of their continual tirades, one threw the other,through their colourbond fence. I hate it too, but I think that's taking it a bit far, don't you think?? Neeedless to say, they have moved on, thank Goodness!!! Arr, back to smelling the roses again!!!

| Of course roses and rhododenrons are similar - they both start with the letter "R". "Ahhh........" ;o) |

| Hopefully we wont be seeing much over our backyard neighbours fence once the cimbing roses take off! At this stage though stand on our entertaining area & you can see straight into their house, mentioned we could see them & their response was so dont look! ahh let the rains come & my climbers grow! Jacqui:) |

Fortunately, I have calliandras, ornamental pommegrante and a liquidamber between my neighbour and me.
But that doesn't stop the sound, however! They certainly seem to have a lot of fun next door. :)) Oh, to be young and energetic again!! Annie |

| We can seeost of our neighbours, but we rarely if ever hear them. On one side are 'the renters'. They have two dogs and several kids, but we never hear the dogs bark or the kids making noise, and they keep their grass mowed and the garden beds neat and tidy. They are great neighbours! On the other side of us the neighbours have a vinyard and we see them constantly tending their vines. We wave when we see them and are quite happy to drink wine with them. Ditto the neighbour past them and the one diagonally across the road. They are perfect neighbours and great drinking buddies ;-) Robyn |
