Nature lovers should check out botanic gardens in each country they go to, and Australia is home to quite a few. They can be found in most of the major cities you can explore while traveling through the Land Down Under, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss for the world.
Royal Botanic Gardens (Sydney)
Sydney is Australia’s biggest metropolis, so it’s not a surprise it’s home to one of its most impressive botanical gardens. This 30-hectare green oasis has been around for over two centuries, and it’s one of the most important historic botanical gardens in the entire world, with a wide range of native and exotic species.
Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria (Melbourne)
This botanic garden in Melbourne opened its doors all the way back in 1846, and it’s safely tucked away on the south side of the Yarra River. Lawns, lakes, and walking paths can be found on its premises, together with 1,500 different species of plants divided into 30 collections.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden (Perth)
One of Perth’s top tourist attractions, Kings Park and Botanic Garden is a sight to behold. It overlooks the Swan river and Perth’s central business district, and it’s home to everything from war memorials to an 18-hectre botanic garden with thousands of native plant species.
