A couple of weeks ago I went to the City of Melbourne and walked around the garden areas.
The weather was a pleasant mid 20c day.
It was nice to see the fountain working. Not so long ago because of the bad drought none of the fountains were cascading water.
A couple of the lovely flowers in bloom
The grass was still very green from the rains we have had. It will not be long before they begin to yellow a little.
The Royal Botanical Gardens has many areas of different plants
like this bird's next

a hut to rest a while
I wandered around the path surrounded by the tall bamboo.
There were lots of people also enjoying the gardens on such a lovely sunny day.
The trees were showing off their lovely blooms
and these Canna Lilies were lovely too.
It was a perfect day for enjoying a ride in the gondola
I eventually reached the Tea Rooms where I met up with my friends for a Christmas break up lunch.
A view of Government House from the Botanical Gardens.
I always enjoy my visits to the Royal Botanical Gardens, there is much more to see there.
That's all for now,
