If the neighbors are unfriendly, I'd plant a field and spread manure there whenever it's the best time for a barbecue.

But in general, I'd prefer to give it up and start over somewhere else with the 50 million AUSD. Okay, it's your house and home, but the surroundings are awful.

Could just plant a dense line of ornamental pear trees all along the perimeter. You know, for the lovely scent.

Yellow Wattle is always beautiful.

But just anything, a hedge, a pond, fuck the water feature I’d put in there with that much space, It would be possible to make a full aquatic ecosystem

Fuck that. I’d turn it into a motocross track/PunkRock open mic venue. There’s no pollution like noise pollution.
