Re: What to visit in Oz?

Hello Alison
September, in Australia is a beautiful time, particularly in the mountain gardens outside of Sydney [Blue Mountains] and Melbourne [Mt Macedon, Dandenongs] but they are not medit gardens, of course
I would be able to take you to private gardens in the beautiful island state of Tasmania [including my own] but these gardens are mainly cool temperate gardens too. As far as Tasmania is concerned, our semi-medit plants are better visited later in the year or January
If you would be interested in more info, I would be happy to answer you in email.
Cheers, Gay

Hi there,

We are planning a short trip to Australia in late September, and would welcome suggestions for horticultural/botanic visits.
Work takes us to Canberra, Melbourne & Sydney, where I am looking forward to revisting the Botanic gardens, but would love to hear of any other recommendations.

When our business is done we hope to have about a weeks holiday, and havent decided in which direction to go. I know that there are amazing wild flowers in SW Australia, but havent yet been able to pinpoint where exactly. Does anyone have particular recommendations?

On the intrepid traveller scale my husband & I would average out between us at around about 7-8 I would say.

Thank you in advance for any ideas .

bestv wishes

Alison Richards
