Australia?s most unique Botanic Gardens, a prime example of what community spirit can achieve is on display at the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens. As the first semi-arid botanical gardens in the southern hemisphere, this is where the desert really comes into bloom. The plantings showcase a wide variety of Australian and exotic species, the centrepiece of which may be the rose garden featuring over 1600 colour co-ordinated bushes. On the last Sunday of each month visitors can enjoy a tractor/train tour through the gardens complemented by a light luncheon at the historic Garnpang homestead. Garnpang is open on weekends when visitors can relax over a coffee, tea or cool drink and browse through a selection of handcrafted gifts and cards. Entry to the gardens is free, donation appreciated.
