If you’ve ever walked out of the Gallery of NSW and thought the art was all on the inside, you’re wrong. Right across the road is the entrance to Sydney’s Royal
Botanical Gardens. In the centre of Sydney, 30 hectares of grounds house permanent exhibitions as part of the City of Sydney Sculpture Walk. Bronwyn Oliver’s Magnolia and Palm Seeds are giant globes of welded metal, nestled under the trees their models fell from. Cast iron lions guard the gates and statues of boys built from stone play in the bushes. ...read more
A very underrated spot in Sydney, I know we take it for granted. The Gardens are a beautiful place to take a stroll. The outlook of the harbour, the opera house and harbour bridge is stunning. It is also possible to do educational tours to learn about the history of the area and plants in the gardens. If you are after something to eat there are a number of eateries, including cafe's and restaurants, it is also a great spot to have a picnic. A must visit if in Sydney.
Absolutely Gorgeous!! You cannot beat the views of the harbour from top of the hill at the Botanical gardens! The views are stunning!! The gardens are simply lovely. A great place to take a stroll along the water front or through the gardens. It gardens seem to go forever and there is always something happening! Could go back time and time again!
Love walking around the Botanical Gardens on my lunch break. It really revives me. There is plenty of green grass that you can have your lunch on or to even just sit and relax. Plenty of paths where you can run too and it goes around the harbour and right past the Opera House. Beautiful place.
