One of my "must do" activities on this little jaunt around Oz, is to try and visit the main Botanic Garden of every Capital city.
We only have Darwin (which I did do years ago) and Canberra left to visit. Some of the gardens have been amazing, and others just ok. This one, Mt Coo-tha was definitely one of the better gardens.
This big pool inside the Tropical display dome, helps to keep a controlled humid atmosphere so plants that normally cannot be grown in Brisbane can thrive.
One of the things that really make a garden something special (to me) is the inclusion of art and sculpture.. and even better if it is interactive..
There were quite a few in Mt Coo-tha, little sparkly mosaic leaves, koala seats...
and xylaphones you could play (it looked like a giant skeleton of a leaf) Dave was stylin!
I recommend taking the day out to see it, pack a picnic basket or there is a lovely cafe overlooking a pond surrounded by gorgeous flower gardens and food-scabbing ducks!
