Week 161

AUSTRALIAN GARDEN
ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS CRANBOURNE

The manmade sand dunes of the Red Sand Garden, representing Australia's Red Centre.

View across the waterhole.

 The footbridge with the 90m-long Escarpment Wall Sculpture on the right.

This statue, Untitled 2004, by David Abecassis, is really striking.

The view across the Red Sand Garden shows the Ephemeral Lake sculpture (in white) and the circles of saltbush.

The waterfall where the Rockpool Waterway runs into the Waterhole, as seen from the footbridge.

Another view of the dunes, seen across the waterway.

Some grass trees. Called "black boys" here, these plants get to live very
long indeed; the ones in the photo are about 400 years old!

Could not resist this view!

We take a last look back before leaving...
