Warrnambool Botanic Gardens

I’m not sure why I keep on finding myself at a botanical garden — maybe it has something to do with the collection of plants, or the little signs before them with a couple of Latin works on them that make it appear that the people that actually put those Latin words on them could actually speak Latin (or at least understand it). Anyway, unlike some of the gardens that I have visited, this one is quite large, and it also have all of those things that you would expect to find in a botantical garden, and would be sorely disappointed if you went to one and discovered that they weren’t there (such as a lake, a rotunda, a bird bath, and we can’t forget the sundail — you have to have a sundail in a botanic gardens). Okay, maybe you don’t like looking at plants, or have no interest in classifying them, but this is still a pretty peaceful place that you can take your lover (well, you don’t have to, but it is still nice and peaceful), or simply come here with a book for a quiet read, if it doesn’t rain of course because books and rain generally don’t go well together.
