AustraliaTrip - October 2017 - Adelaide Botanical Gardens

It's over 30 years since I visited Adelaide Botanical Gardens on my first trip to Adelaide.  Not a lot has changed, and it is still as lovely and interesting as it was.    Our main reason for visiting this year was the Wisteria Arch - I think you will agree it was magnificent.

This monument was erected to he memory of Elvis Presley
by the Sound of Elvis Society on the 26th November 1982 - there is s small plaque in the centre.



If you are interested, this tree is Brachychiton Rupestris.
It has amazing bark
