The Mt Lofty botanic gardens are quite a way from the Mt Lofty summit climb. We ended up heading there and didn't have as much time as we hoped. So we just quickly looped around and didn't go on many of the trails. It was actually quite different to the summit climb which we normally go up and I was expecting it to resemble that kind of forestry area. However, it was a lot more open and had small trails heading off every now and then which was quite interesting and I would love to have had more time to explore the area.
I took quite a few photos of some of the lovely flowers plants and occasional animal that came around.
This was part of the main area which had quite a few people picnicking on the grass.
A fancy fine covered boardwalk we got to walk along.
This seemed to be quite a popular view from the main area and I'm guessing that the hill in the distance is near the summit climb.
As I said about the photo above this is a popular view, so I tried to get a different view that was a little less common by going through some trees. I'm not sure how it turned out.
This was one of the trails that led off from the main route.
I thought this was quite a funny looking flower.
I heard some rustling and found this guy which gave me quite a fright; he did not seem too happy.
