Hi Birddog,

Other than that, Just you and stubbsy for the day! Enjoy!!!!!


This can be treated as a site visit in preparation to the spring visit :D :D

We'll get back to the gardens for the spring wildflowers.

Cheers,

André

Hi,

we still go on Sunday July 9th but we will also have one in spring, TBA. So if one of the mods can change the date in the activities box ;)

cheers,

André

That's the date :)

Looking forward to seeing your niggarised car :?

The botanic gardens are about 2 to 3 kms north of the Hexham bridge on the Pacific Hwy, assuming you will coming from Sydney.

Cheers,

Due to my being an asian driver, my car's currently at the smash repairers (no surprises), so there may be a question mark over my attendance. I do wish all attendees the best.

:cry: :cry:

There's going to be a visit in spring. Hope it's only your car at the smash repairers and not yourself as well.

take care,

André

Turned out to be a micro-meet. Curly was there, right on time. The gardens are really beautiful. All kinds of different sections to take photos in depending on the season, so it doesn't really matter what time of year it is. It was a nice time to be there, not many people and the light was nice.

Well worth a few more visits. We were there for a couple of hours and only covered a small portion of the botanic gardens.

Also plenty of birds but we concentrated on plants today.

Look for a repeat visit in spring.

Cheers,

André
