Noosa (Cooroy) Botanical Gardens

On the last day of our holidays at Noosa (a Saturday), my family and I drove to Cooroy to see the Botanical Gardens there. Although not as big or popular as the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens, it did have an auditorium and a good variety of different plants and flowers, something that is missing from Rockhampton’s Botanical Gardens.

This is the auditorium. To get an idea of the size, look just below the left columns and you can see a person.

An amazingly bright plant with pink in the middle. No modifications either.

These heart-shaped sprinklers were used extensively throughout the gardens.

Another strange flowering plant.

Anyway, we walked around for a couple of hours and then we had lunch. While we were eating some fairly tame ducks and geese came up to see if we would give them something to eat.

While walking along my mum saw this crow throwing rubbish out of the bin in search of food.

These two geese were the least afraid of us. The food they’re eating was left there by someone who had eaten before us (I think).

In this post I have put captions underneath each photo, so let me know if you like it like that.
