You must see the tacky, over-the-top decor of the "Chateau Jardin Perfume" in Sassafras, Victoria, Australia. It has 4bds, 3ba and the price is listed as $4.2M - $4.5M. (Maybe for $4.5M you get the furnishings?)

The grand entrance hall. I don't really like it. The railings look kind of builder's grade, like those standard newel posts that you see in so many homes.

Black & brass kitchen. Interesting countertop choice. Do you like the black tiles? They look like bricks, with that rough surface. And, of course the chandeliers.

The dining room. A lot going on in here. I never cared for crushed velvet fabric. Looks like the ceiling embellishments are painted purple to match the velvet.

The living room ties in w/the dining room decor. I wonder how they wound up with 2 fireplaces in here. The one on the left looks like a rustic stone one, and the other one is marble.

Here's a lounge. More crushed velvet. Is that tile on the wall? Shiny wallpaper? Have you ever seen this many chandeliers in one house?

Home theater. I like the art deco floor.

The main bd. I don't know, they have all this elegant decor, but the wood looks modern rustic and informal.

This bath has sleek modern elements and a baroque sink vanity, plus classic stained glass windows. Some of their mixes don't work.

Have you ever seen a more fancy garage? Looks like a chapel.

The gated entrance.

There's a mosaic rose on the bottom of the pool. Now, remember the garage? That's not a chapel, there, that's the garage. Isn't that an interesting idea?

An outdoor living room.

What a lovely patio.

The grounds are stunning. Look at that cute little shed.

Set on a hillside, you get a great view of the city.

I wonder if all the statuary conveys.

THIS TINY CRAB COULD BE KEY IN THE DEFENSE OF CORAL REEFS

Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp) receives its name from the venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface whose venom provokes strong hemolytic activity. This sea star species is native from Taiwan but is invasive in tropical coral reef ecosystems around the world, and is a pervasive coral predator prone to population outbreaks that have damaged coral reefs across Australia and the wider Indo-Pacific.

Coral rubble is often produced from physical disturbances like fish predation, anchor damage or storms, and is the primary settlement habitat of juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish, when they herbivorous and arent venomous yet. To understand the dinamycs and ecology of the predation of this invasive species in its early stage has been suggested as a primary mechanism that suppresses their outbreaks. Australian researchers assessed the capacity of 104 species of the rubble fauna found across Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. They found only 10 species that regularly consumed juvenile crown-of-thorns in their entirety. 

 - A juvenile Crown-of-thorns starfish being devored by a red decorator crab during feeding experiments, by K Wolfe.

Most cases of predation resulted in sublethal predation, but not total consumption, making them suvirved, as they could regenerate, but the red decorator crab (Schizophrys aspera), seemed to be VERY hungry, eating  almost 5 juvenile crown-of-thorns per day, emphasising the importance of this tiny crab as a key predators at the critical juvenile stage, when it may be controled before outbreak population.
