Friday August 26th 2011 Botanic Gardens



A trip to the Botanic Gardens this afternoon was just a good way to get in a walk and check out the plants. We opted for the Monsoon Walk, Shaded Walk, Tiwi Gardens, Sustainability Garden, Orchid House and pond.


This is a very relaxing garden (most are) with easy walks through different vegetation. I like tropical rainforests. There's just something about the colour, density of the trees and the smells that make them so peaceful and calm. 


Jennifer was looking for one plant in particular to find out its name and to see if would be available in Adelaide. Luckily, she found it early on in the walk. 

I had to get under sprinkler - it was a hot day!



It's hard to imagine Darwin flattened by Cyclone Tracy over 40 years ago. Most of the plants would have been wiped out except some of the very old trees that are still standing.
