Today we visited the botanic gardens not too far away and did a bit of exploring as well.
We started the day with a long sleep in before heading for the gardens.

After eating a very late lunch at the lovely cafe in the Botanic Gardens we set out carefully to do one of the walks, knowing that we had limited time, but unwilling to push Trevor’s walking too much , given the pain in his heel.
We enjoyed the educational information and attempting to identify the plants the signs spoke of. We even found a geocache!



We enjoyed watching a Superb Blue Wren hopping about as well.

There were some lovely sculptures around. This one quite took my fancy.

I could have happily done a lot more walking here (maybe spent a couple of full days) as there were a good number of tracks which follow different types of terrain and climate. They even have a wheelchair friendly walk and an orchid house.

We took a detour towards Batemans Bay, to Round Hill Lookout that Trevor had spotted on the map. Apparently we had been here a few years ago, but neither of us remembered it – we only knew because we had already found the cache which is hidden there! Nice view over Batemans Bay.


We finished the first jigsaw tonight.
