Lonely Planet review for Royal Botanic Gardens
The finest botanic gardens in Australia, and among the best in the world, the beautifully designed Royal Botanic Gardens sprawl beside the Yarra River. Plants from Australia and around the world feature in mini-ecosystems, such as the cacti and succulents area, a herb garden and Australian rainforest. Take a book, a picnic or frisbee; most importantly, take your time.
