One of the great thing about living in Australia is even in autumn you get beautifully sunny warm days and yesterday was one of those so we gathered up the family and headed down to the
E. G. Waterhouse National Camellia Garden for a picnic.
The Gardens began as a project under the 1970 Captain Cook Bicentenary program, and the first plantings were made in 1969. They are named after the late Professor EG Waterhouse, a leading world authority on camellias, who lived in Sydney. It contains a national collection of camellias, with over 400 cultivars and species donated and acquired since its first plantings began in 1969, in addition to many other rare ornamental and native plants.
After munching a whole host of delicious picnic foods we took our great-niece to see the ducks and check out the pretty flowers.
As we were surrounded by beautiful blooms I went for a floral outfit. Excuse the squinting eyes in the photos it was a very sunny day and I forgot my sunglasses!
