Steam of morning light pours through coach windows as Sydney falls away and the tablelands rise—an hour of highway gives way to rolling paddocks, then a park-scale garden that opens like a living map. Arrive at Mayfield Garden in autumn and the grounds read like a study in color: maples and cherries trading fire across lakes, clipped hedges casting hard lines, and a maze that dares you to lose track of time.
