Mount Tomah Botanic Garden

Mount Tomah Botanic Garden is a spectacular cool-climate garden, located in the northern Blue Mountains. With footpaths, waterfalls and granite-lined trails, plants from all over the world and views of the Blue Mountains this ensure you have something to look at  around every bend.




So with picnic basket in hand we headed off to find somewhere to sit in the sunshine and enjoy our picnic, there hill to roll down and rock to climb.
I found so many different kinds of Proteas.





Lots of Autumn colour around everywhere but still so warm. 

These two are just so much alike.
 We had the best day out, there is nothing like spending time with the people you love.

  10. Hi GT!
    I've enjoyed catching up on all your recent posts this morning. I'm enjoying my morning coffee and watching the water. We were just in Waimea Valley enjoying its magnificent botanical gardens yesterday! Your Blue Mountains are lovely! No driftwood on the North Shore because the nearest land is about 2,000 miles away! Your mobile was quite striking. It's funny to see you posting autumn colors while we're enjoying spring. Have a good one!
