Re: Australian gardens?

I will be pleased for you if your experience is similar to Kay's.

Our own experience of "Oz" has been restricted to their Spring (i.e. around October) which all the Ozzies will tell you is by far their best and most enjoyable time of year.

I am surprised to hear that the blazing summer heat is already gone by March, maybe Kay struck a lucky "cool" year?

Chantal,
I've been in Sydney Botanical Garden in March and thought it was fabulous. Also walks through bush outside the city. Everything was new to an American, and even without the wonderful displays of annuals, I was quite happy meeting the banksias et al in their native habitat. And my recollection of the weather in early March was that it was already cooling down and heading into fall. Warm enough to swim in the ocean, not hot enough to need air conditioning. I say you are in for a treat.
