Kings Park Botanic Gardens
I think this will be a good place to walk around with my camera and hopefully there are some plants flowering or doing something spectacular to photograph & add to my collection
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is visited by millions of people each year. With its remarkable expanses of unique bushland, tranquil parkland and botanic garden, the Park is the most popular visitor destination in Western Australia.
The total area of the Park is 406 hectares (roughly 1,000 acres) and is located adjacent to the Swan River and approximately 1.5 km from the Central Business District of Perth. Kings Park and Botanic Garden overlooks the Swan River and Darling Range and showcases an outstanding collection of Western Australia flora. It is one of the best places to take a photograph of the beautiful Perth skyline and the Swan River.
It is a popular place for picnics, pleasant walks, cultural and ceremonial events. Nearly two thirds of the Park is natural bushland containing 319 species of native plants and around 80 bird species. The balance of the Park is made up of superb cultivated gardens and open recreational areas.
For Western Australians and for the many interstate and international visitors, Kings Park and Botanic Garden is a place of inspiration, relaxation, recreation and wonder.
Things to Do There are number of areas in Kings Park, such as the Fraser Avenue precinct, Botanic Garden, Synergy Parkland, Saw Avenue Picnic Area and Lotterywest Family Area. Information on walks through Kings Park and Botanic Garden - including guided walks, the DNA Tower climb and the Lotterywest Federation Walkway.
