Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha
Mt Coot-tha, Australia
At the foot of Mt Coot-tha, these extensive gardens reward a more deliberate visit than a quick city-park stroll. Native and exotic collections, varied planted landscapes and walking routes create changing scenes across the grounds. The attraction is the botanical garden itself, so leave time to explore its different areas and take advantage of a guided walk when available. It suits travellers who enjoy looking closely at plants and landscape design, with enough space to make an unhurried half-day feel natural.
