It was a rainy day so we decided to take the bus tour around the garden. It was just us two behind Eli, the tour guide. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and Eli is an amazing guide. You can sense his passion for nature and he showed us around, answering our questions and even took a few pictures of us. Realising that the best way to experience the garden is to actually walk through it, we spent a good hour walking across the garden after our tour. Would highly recommend if you want to take things easy and enjoy the breadth of what nature has to offer. High praise for the garden keepers too!

The Botanic Garden in Sydney is a wonderful place to spend a day just wandering around and enjoying all that's on offer. The other day we visited and noticed a really wonderful work of art. It was a monumental bara. Fish hooks (bara) were crafted and used by Indigenous women for thousands of generations. They would fish from their canoes in the harbour, hauling in catches with bara tied with bush string, to cook on open fires. The bara art work, located on the Tarpeian Precinct Lawn of the Royal Botanic Gardens, has a gleaming finish reminiscent of local seashells. Its crescent shape reflects the shapes of the moon, the coves of the harbour, the sails of the Sydney Opera House and the arch of the Harbour Bridge. This artwork is a powerful expression of Aboriginal cultures. It’s an unusual and interesting work of art and worth a look.

Sydney's extensive botanic gardens are looking very fine indeed at the moment as Spring arrives. Some interesting plantings and many lovely blooms. Definitely worth a stroll for both gardeners and non-gardeners.

As a gardener, I found our tour guide Anne’s knowledge extremely informative. She proudly took us on an hour plus walk through the historical trees of the gardens, naming each while sharing anecdotal uses for many of them. It was amazing to learn there are nearly 1,000 species of eucalyptus but koalas only eat 7 of them. The lush Palm Grove is planted with over 300 species and is a mecca for students. Anne also shared wonderful Australian history with us as the park, created in 1816, has seen Sydney grow dramatically. We wish the gardens and Anne all the best!

I just returned from an amazing walk thru the botanical gardens. So much to see and everything has a marker on it to describe the Latin name and English. Little side paths to move in and out. This was one of the best walks in a city garden I ever experienced. A must visit anytime you come to Sydney.

Beautiful garden in the harbour area. Good place for evening stroll and spending quality time with your family. I would suggest walking to the Northeast side of the garden. There you will get an excellent view of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour. Excellent place to take photos and soak in the view.

A huge green space located next to the Opera house, it’s full of trees, birds, and benches to rest. It includes a historical building for the government. It is amazing to spend few hours walking around and listen to the birds and take a lot of pictures. It is a great place to practice sports, photography, or to make small picnics

We spent a romantic day in the park and even went back a second day. The park is huge, gorgeous and FREE! It had a wonderful gift shop to purchase great souvenirs and support the gardens and a cute cafe. I highly recommend!

We had a lot of fun walking around the gardens. Everything was very clean and we did not notice a lot of litter. We saw a giant silk orb weaver in the trees. The web actually had a golden tingle. We saw lots of cool birds and there were some huge eels in the duck pond. There were lots of nice photo opportunities with the cool plants, trees, and flowers.

Green escape from the hustle of the city. It seemed that all plants of the region were represented. Along the pathway you will find sculptures and Museum of South Wales . There is something to look at every corner. Highly recommend place .
