Day 98: Gardens and Sculptures

Today was filled with some of Duncan's favourite things...beautiful gardens to stroll through and lots of fascinating plants to take photographs of.

Our first stop was the Australian Garden, which is well set out into different areas such as arid regions, home gardens, red sand garden, stringybark section, peppermint bush area, etc. It made for a fascinating stroll and provided lots of variety to look at and scents to sniff. We also had lunch here and enjoyed a potter in the visitor centre.

The Red Sand Garden

Moving on from here, we went to the McClelland Sculpture Garden, which has some of the most incredibly interesting sculptures scattered all through the gardens. This was an entertaining experience and some of the sculptures were really good, while others made you wonder what the artist was thinking at the time.

Peekaboo!

Yes, this is the sculpture...with models!

Keep it up boys!

Popped into the Bayside Shopping Centre afterwards for a bit of a browse and some grocery shopping, then home to get the laundry done.

While yesterday was perfectly sunny and clear, today has been drizzly and grey and cold. The rest of the week has rain and/showers forecast. :-(
