It's hard to imagine a more picturesque location for a
park or gardens anywhere in the world. Stretching out east from Circular Quay
and the Sydney Opera house, the gardens are a swathe of green over the berms
and coves of a once barren patch of scrub. It's a vast space, almost as big as
the Central Business District itself, and easy to get lost in.
The paths range
up and down and through banks of trees both native and foreign, including at
least one example of my favourite Australian tree: the baobab. And the views of
the harbour, the Opera House and Bridge along the hand hewn rock wall that
stretches around Farm Cove, and finishing at the astonishing Macquarie's Chair,
are some of the best in the world.
As with any Botanical Garden in Australia, be a little careful, as there are potentially some spiders and snakes in the bushes.
