We had a free day in Geelong and we visited the Art Gallery and the Botanic Gardens. There was a very impressive exhibition at the Art Gallery of landscapes of Australian artist Fred Williams but no photographs were allowed in any case.
Municipal pools by the sea on the way to the Botanic Gardens.

Geelong Botanic Gardens, established in 1852 is the fourth oldest Botanic Gardens in Australia.

Looking up at a giant redwood, planted in 1873.

This is obviously the end of a fern but I didn’t photograph many labels, so I can’t tell you what most of these plants are.

Beautiful photos. They’ve really brightened up my corner of a drab and dreary England – thanks for posting!

Love the aspect on the redwood, and the purple lupins(?) reminded me of a group of standing meerkats.
