The flower beds are well maintained and an interesting sculpture pavilion with some proto Greek sculptures in it had...

The trees and plants you see are beautiful, there is always colourful flowers to see, but, the Begonia Festival in March would have to be the highlight! There are also hidden treasures on display such as busts of the Prime Ministers of Australia. Take a stroll, relax and enjoy the peace and joy of nature.

The gardens are serene and gorgeous at any time, but cold in winter. I found lots of interesting statues that I had not noticed before and was particularly interested in the plants and soil as I have recently done a...
