"We had stocked up with shopping in the town, and later went for a drive to the Arid Lands Botanic Gardens, and we were so glad we did. What a surprise, this place is magnificent, went to the lookout, what a view, we wish we had arrived earlier in the day. The shop was great, the staff very helpful a..."nd friendly, and the whole area, was neat, tidy, and very informative. Managed to buy a Arid Lands polo shirt, just before closing, (sorry to hold the staff up while quickly trying sizes) The times I have been stopped and asked about the Arid Lands, while wearing the shirt, I feel like a walking ad...Guess I do wear it a lot, Gail has to try and get it off me to wash it....
Will most definitely be back. ( Prob need a new shirt )

"What an excellent place, we spent around 3 hours looking through the various displays and watching the different films. A real credit to Port Augusta. Highly recommended as a tourist attraction, good value for money. "
