The location and surrounds of Sydney’s botanic gardens make it well worth seeing but after a full day walking around each I have to say that Melbourne’s Royal Botanic gardens are in my opinion more interesting and picturesque. This is mainly because they have more lakes and ponds. Above is the main pond which has a huge number of eels, obviously you can’t really see that with this wide angle photograph. In the background you can see some of the main / larger buildings in the centre of Melbourne.
