Description
The Botanic Gardens were laid out for the government in 1891 by Maurice Holtze, a Russian immigrant. They contain a great variety of tropical plants, either native or introduced to Australia. Particular high spots are the palms, a miniature rain forest with a waterfall and pond, and the orchid garden. In an amphitheater in the south part of the gardens Aboriginal dances are sometimes performed.
