Coffee and a spring photowalk with many varied photo opportunities

About the event

Meet at 9am (8am if you forget to wind forward your watch for daylight saving) for coffee and a chat at the Gardens Simpson Kiosk, overlooking the Main Lake. Then wander around, including the Main Lake (with its reflections), Schomburgk Pavilion, First Creek Wetland, Amazon Waterlily Pavilion and the International Rose Garden.

 

Note, this is the day Daylight Saving starts, and we will wind our clocks forward an hour, and turn on daylight saving time in our cameras.

Free parking in Plane Tree Drive (closest entrance to the Kiosk is Friends' Gate, next to North Lodge).

 

The Botanic Gardens have a photo for everyone, from surprising landscapes in the heart of the city to wildlife photography of birds and small critters, and of course everything botanical: from Murdoch Avenue with its rows of magnificent Moreton Bay fig trees, to the smallest flowers and the bees that hang near them, you have to try really hard not to walk away with good images.
