Botanical Beautiful

We went for a leisurely stroll through the National Botanic Gardens this morning and happily stumbled upon the new Red Centre Garden. It's been a long time in the making but oh so worth the wait.
 
Can't help but be spellbound by the intensely rich colours of the red desert sand and wild flowers.
 
 
A completely striking AND kid friendly design. The boys ran themselves ragged and spent an age climbing the rocks with some new found friends.
 
 
Nothing says FUN like a giant thorny devil and a red sand sandpit!
 
 
Reminds me of when we lived in Darwin.
The final frontier...
 

 

Canberra really does have the most fantastic family friendly spots.

Wouldn't live anywhere else for quids!

  1. LOVELY gardens! So jealous over here - the only flowers we see this time of year is at the florist!

  2. Those purple flows are so pretty, and great photo! What cam and settings did you use?

    1. Thanks Sarah-Louise,

      I use the Canon EOS 550D. I use the auto setting without flash most of the time, especially when snapping the kids. But am slowly learning how to use the manual settings.

      Cheers Em
