Here is a marvellous and very varied botanical garden. The range of plants is stupendous and the keen observer can see many bird species taking advantage of the differing environments, from semi-desert to lush rainforest.

When travelling down to the Illawarra ensure you leave time to explore the Wollongong Botanic Garden. Its not only a great place to visit but relaxing and educational. Plenty of pathways to ramble on and lots of areas to sit and watch the world go by. Great place for a family picnic.

We have a 20 month old and I am 35 weeks pregnant with no2, and we wanted some nice bump/family photos.

It was a freezing cold and windy day, but we wanted outdoor pics, so the beach was out, so we decided to go to the Botanical Gardens - Glennifer Brey to be exact.

There are so many beautiful gardens, flowers beds, water featured and old stone building that we were spoilt for choice of back drop.

It was also a great place to let our little girl run around and have some fun.

If the weather was better it would have been perfect for a family picnic! We will have to come back again in summer.

I highly recommend visiting these gardens if you are in Wollongong.

These gardens have a comprehensive collection of plants and spring is the time to see these beautiful gardens in all their glory. Situated at the base of Mt. Keira Wollongong and next to the University of Wollongong. Easily accessible from the expressway - just take the Keiraville/University exits heading north or south and follow the signs. There is a great kids playground, a coffee truck most days and for those less mobile a little open air wagon to take you around. A beautiful duck pond with A Japanese bridge crossing. Take your own food and escape to the many hidden routunders or quiet seats dotted around the gardens. I love Wollongong and it's many great attractions.
