Thanks Boics and Jason for you comments, the gardens are truly awesome when it comes to showcasing the OZ floral environment.
A bonus is the wee OZ beasties it attracts, when I was there a week or so back a small iridescent blue bird, possibly a wren was hopping around within a few feet of me showing off.
