I'm always amazed at seeing Birds-of-Paradise growing outside. This is southern Australia, it gets cold here!
A very strange tree from South America: a cork tree
Amazingly coloured orchids
One of the great lawns
The Ornamental Lake, with the spires of Government House in the background
These funny looking birds were everywhere.
I had seen these flowers before, but this is the first time I realized that they open up !
After touring the gardens, I crossed the road to visit
the Shrine of Remembrance
Great statues adorn each corner
with a beautiful sculpture on top of this monument
I opted to take the car today to go to the Botanic
Gardens. It meant I would get there
faster than taking the metro and get back to the hotel faster as well. My cold seems to be coming back!

Short day, but enjoyable to be walking in such a
beautiful setting on a bright sunny day.
