Royal botanic gardens cranbourne- The Australian Garden Thread

I went to visit the Botanical Gardens at Cranbourne on the weekend and found it very educational. Within the botanical gardens is the Australian Garden. It is completley australian native plants. It was very interesting and I certainly found a few plants that I did'nt know where native. Well worth a visit if you are looking for an interesting day. I have put some photos below.
