Walking through these gardens was strange for a few reasons. Firstly, the weather and the plants felt so much like Brisbane or Sydney, our home towns. They even had a bunya nut pine there, with a sign saying it was from Queensland. A hotchpotch of birds and animals were digging about everywhere; a kitten with some baby chicks and a peacock, roosters kicking around with ducklings. It felt like it was a forgotten place. Things were lush and overgrown, and the glass of the greenhouses was sometimes clouded and sometimes smashed. We hardly saw another person in there either. I think it was my favourite day of the trip.
