Mount Tomah Gardens
Sun 10 April
Hoping to catch the autumn colours, Evan, Lily, Janet and I went for a drive up to the Blue Mountains, stopping first at Mount Tomah, The Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens and then on to Mount Wilson.
This is the first time we've been to Mount Tomah, at least for me it is, I can't remember visiting here before.
The gardens are huge and as we had arrived just before lunch time, we had our lunch before exploring the gardens. I had prepared some salad and corn to bring and we bought some KFC on the way up, around Richmond. Found an area for picnic with tables and chairs and managed to get an empty table, before the crowds arrived.
Then we went for a walk to explore the gardens. Collected some fallen chestnuts. Found some trees which were just changing and were bright yellow, not quite autumnal but they provided some nice photos.
Lots of walking and taking photos, then we drove on to Mount Wilson, but the trees hadn't turned yet, still too warm.

Botanic Gardens celebrate 200 years
Saturday 9 April
It was a nice day to be out and about, so we took the train out to the city and walked down to the Opera House and Botanic Gardens.
The Botanic Gardens are celebrating 200 years.
Opera Australia also had their stage set up for the opera, Turandot.
So after checking the dragon out, we made our way back to the Japanese garden section and then the herb section before heading home.
