World Gardens in a Flash

When you visit Cairns, Australia, try to take several hours and visit the Flecker Botanical Gardens. Although you might not find any special plant for your garden and furthermore, might no be able to take any plants home through customs, you will probably learn something new about plants.

The Flecker Botanical Gardens is filled with lovely exotics that are beautiful to behold. Some of them you will have seen in other places like Hawaii. The fruit and flower shown above was a new one for me.

This native shelter is part of the exhibit at Flecker Botanical Gardens explaining the native way of life. Most of the plants in the native garden explained how they were used by the local population to fish, eat, and as medicines.

Nearby are two lakes that we wandered around looking for birds. We found many of our first Australian birds and were very pleased with our surroundings, including walking beneath huge trees.
