Should I give up trying to have lawns at my house? I have fairly big lawn areas at front and back (by inner Melbourne standards). I run the washing machine water onto them and some dishwashing water gets chucked there but it doesn\’t seem to help in this drought. I\’m putting in two water tanks but I\’ll probably end up using most of that water on shrubs, vegies and other plants rather than the thristy old lawns. And tanks of course only work if we get a bit of rain in the first place… Should we lawn-owners just give up and plant native gardens and have rockeries and all that stuff? Or has anyone tried so-called “drought resistant grasses\’\'?

This place used to be a bit weird, one of those joints that doesn\’t know if it\’s a bar, a cafe or a restaurant and never seemed to do any those very well. But now they have a great menu, pleasant ambience (let\’s call it “relaxed Northcote style\’\'), friendly staff and the food is good. Sort of \’\'gourmet pub\’\’ standard I suppose, and prices perhaps a bit less than foodie pub prices. Only a few steps from Westgarth Cinema, so great for before and afters. And here\’s a tip: if you are with Origin Energy and have one of their Advantages cards you unhesitatingly get a 20 per cent discount on all food and drink!!
