17 September 2017, Geelong, Victoria

.

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.

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

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.
