Royal Botanic Gardens


Welcome to the Royal Botanic Gardens.



An oasis of 30 hectares in the heart of the city.



I was actually amazed by the uniqueness of the trees.
They remind me of the trees in Taiping Lake garden.



4pm, 15 june 10

I love this view the most.
The significant Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge.

    1st photo.."Pls walk on the grass?" I thought they would have ask people to walk on the pavement and not on the grass. Funny

    This is a beautiful garden. I like all the majestic trees that you have featured here. They must be very old which makes them even more historical and valuable.

    These photos are taking me down memory lane! It would be about 25 years since I last wandered there, and loved it! I've been looking at your photos to find any changes - then and now! Of course, the first sign did not exist! A magic place!

    What a wonderful place! Gorgeous photos too!

    I especially like the sign ...

    "Please walk on the grass. We also invite you to smell the roses, hug the trees, talk to the birds and picnic on the lawns."

    It sounds a little bit like heaven to me!

Twin bananas

Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
