Seeing Green At The Australian National Botanic Gardens

One of the advantages of living in a capital city is the primo attractions, especially if the said city only has about 500k population. Always things to do, the city punching above their peeps weight.

Canberra is a bit of a dry climate, kind of perfect for a botanic garden. Just add the right amount of water and one can create all the biodiversity of the country.

Stay to the path, bring your camera and enjoy the blooming flora.

Rocking and bursting with color. What the..? Life size sculpture of a cassowary. Kind of an ostrich dressed for a party. With a claw like a dino. Best to view at a distance or in metal form.

Add a lot of water and, presto!, a rain forest section, full of lush ferns.

Ahh, the iconic banksia flower, all cone shaped and colorful. So lovely, banksia as rusted panels by a fire pit look great.

Getting out there, to the outback. Visitors braving Mars, otherwise labeled the Red Center garden.
