Much of Castlecrag's architecture, unusual layout, character and preserved bushland

 is due in part to Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion Mahony Griffin. 

These American architects came to Australia in 1914, having won 
an international competition to design Australia's national capital, Canberra. 

The true genesis of Castlecrag was in the 1920s,

when the Griffins developed it to be a "model suburb" 

in which the houses and landscape should be in harmony with each other.

We are proud of Castlecrag. 

It stands on a beautiful peninsula jutting into Sydney's Middle Harbour.

Through its strong sense of community and unique architectural heritage, 

much of its special natural character has been retained. 

Castlecrag's conservation of its natural environment

 allows its residents to enjoy the suburb's rich diversity of fauna and flora 

and wander through hectares of healthy Australian bushland.

Take the walk through the public reserve next to 197 Edinburgh Road. 

It offers wonderful views (see photo above) of Sugarloaf Bay,

with Harold Reid Reserve in the foreground (left) 

and the suburbs of Middle Cove and Castle Cove beyond.

To the people of Castlecrag, this place is very special indeed!

The Absinthe Fairy

The Perigord is a former province of France. 

 The area is noted for its cuisine, particularly foie gras 

 and historically it is one of the most famous truffle areas of France.

We have just unpacked a selection of 

the Perigord range of glassware from La Rochere in France. 

The classic bistro glass, originally from the 1940's,

was featured with Kylie Minogue "the absinthe fairy" 

in the opening scene of Baz Luhrmann's movie "Moulin Rouge"

The Latest "buzz" on Glassware

The Napoleonic Bee range of glassware and tableware from La Rochere

  was inspired by a set of glassware 

owned by Napoleon during his reign as King of France.

 

Historically each King of France chose something as their emblem. 

Napoleon chose the bee for its industriousness 

and to signify that through unity you achieve strength. 

It was a rallying cry for his army.

The bee design is no less relevant today. 

Whether you like to feast as Kings and Queens 

or whether you simply admire the industry of our bee comrades, 

the elegance and simplicity of the Napoleonic Bee range from La Rochere is fitting. 

And, like its namesake, 

the La Rochere glassware goes the extra mile by being dishwasher safe.
