Sydney Botanical Gardens

HJust a stones throw from Sydney Opera House is the beautiful Botanical gardens.  The gardens are celebrating their 200th year in 2016!  It is a very large green space just a 5 minute walk from the hustle & bustle of the city business district.  




Josh looking out for the fish & eels!!!! 



                       Some great rocks for climbing.



The Botanical gardens run along the waterfront so there is a great view of the bridge & the Opera House! 



The gardens are used during the week by the locals at lunchtime for a picnic or a lunchtime run or keep fit session.  








                       It's also full of some impressive birds! 












There are some great trees for climbing too!!! 

We spent a good 2 hours wandering through the gardens & I think we only covered half of it.  It is split into many sections with millions of different species of trees, plants & flowers.  A gardeners paradise!  A great place for a wander or a picnic.  There are always plenty of people watching opportunities or you can sit nearer the water & watch the boats, ferries & sometimes cruise ships pass by.
