The Botanic Gardens At Auburn

[k9angel]

Today we visited the Botanic gardens over at Auburn. It has been years since I've been there. As kids we used to ride our bikes through these gardens almost every weekend. :laugh:

It has changed so so much. And for the better too!

You have to pay now to get in, $4 per adult and kids free so it's not that bad. Makes for a lovely day out. They even have wallabies, kangaroo's, and emu's there now aswell as all the ducks and peacocks and other birds. Oh and the rose garden is still there too. It's gorgeous.

I took stacks of pics, as expected, so be warned, and this isn't even half of them. :laugh:

This one was taken at the top of the steps near the waterfall.

Bailey & Jack watching the waterfall.

There is heaps of carp in the ponds.

This web was huge!

Having a good old talk about something they've seen. :laugh:

The rose garden

A pretty purple rose. As you can see it's not as bushy as a normal rose, but still, it's very pretty.

ETA still lots more to come. Flickr is being a pain in the bum tonight.

Bails just wanted to chase the ducks. :laugh: I was scared he would chase them into the water so had to put him back in his pram. And boy did he laugh when they were making their noises. :laugh:

Still more uploading. Some cute wallabies still to come. :)

Apparently there are black swans there too. I hope we see one next time we go.

Thankyou. :)

And the geese are beautiful aren't they? It's the first time I have seen them in real life. :)

Ta Marion. :)

And yes the gardens are beautiful. I wish I could say they were my backyard. :laugh: They have alot of weddings there and wedding parties go there for their photo's and I can see why. We saw a wedding today while we were there. I was so tempted to get a pic of the bride, but didn't. :laugh:

I did get a couple of the cars though. :)

Jack got to see inside this limo. The driver was very nice and asked if he wanted to have a look and ofcoarse he did. :)
