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! :thumbsup:

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.

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

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:

Just gorgeous! Love the cape barren geese shots! Haven't seen those for a long time!

Thankyou. :)

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

Beautiful gardens, and lovely pics too Rach.

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. :)
