A few photos from the Botanical Gardens in Hobart Tasmania


Poppies by the pond

The bridge

We spent a whole day at the Botanical Gardens in Hobart, probably because they are pretty amazing..... We wandered through the conservatory - complete with orchids, visited the artic exhibition and ate lunch at the wonderful cafe (I even quaffed a little wine).

A local!

There is so much to see at these gardens and the pond (more like a small lake), Japanese Gardens and flowers were wonderful subjects for some photos as our journey came to an end.....

This is the path to Mt Fugi..... Love the wonderful rocks

We are thinking whether this might work at Scribbly Gums (LOL)

Great waterfal in the background

Thisis cool - sort of a pagoda
