A beautiful place to relax. I come here often during my lunch breaks from work for a walk. It is usually very peaceful and calm. Sit on the grass and relax or read a book. Best park in Melbourne!

Find this great pillar left by the late John Woods to signify his indignance that the Victorian parliament was built using New South Wales stone rather than the perfectly fine local Victorian stone.

Be careful when touching the plants near the fountain - they have little spikes on them that hook into your fingers and hurt ):

For being one of Australia's only 3 man-made UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this place sure gets overlooked often.

Nothing quite like these beautiful gardens on a sunny day! I hate them being fenced off for the Flower and Garden Show in March! 😞

Always see possums after the sun goes gown. International and Interstate guests always seem to be fascinated by them.
