Victoria Parks and Gardens
Victoria is widely regarded as
the garden state of Australia and it is not too hard to realize why. There are
hundreds of parks and gardens around Melbourne and throughout Victoria. The
Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne is considered to be one of the most significant
botanical gardens in Australia. Established in 1846, the Royal Botanic Gardens
cover 36ha. The gardens are home to over 12,000 different species of plants and
are a natural sanctuary for native wildlife. There are a number of other
regional botanic gardens in Victoria. The public gardens of the Dandenong Ranges
are at their best in spring and autumn, but are well worth visiting at any time
of the year. The National Rhododendron Gardens are host to a variety of
brilliantly coloured blooms, such as
rhododendrons azaleas camellias & daffodils.
Of international reputation, these gardens attract 50,000 to 60,000 visitors
annually. Around Melbourne, a number of gardens are within minutes of the city
