AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS

Nestled about a kilometer away from the heart of the city is this nature delight-Australian National Botanic Gardens, which sprawls over 50 hectares of land. These gardens are dotted on the slopes of Black Mountain and feature an exotic collection of Australian flora.

You can also take a look at the water dragons in the lush foliage of gardens. Apart from this, there is the Red center garden that features red earth along with the Children’s Discovery Walk. If you are a birdwatcher, then this place is a haven for you as it boasts a number of avian species. Make sure that you spot the Gallery of gardens, Penjing collection, and the National Bonsai!
