Sydney

1. Royal Botanical Garden
The Royal Botanic Gardens are an oasis in the heart of the Sydney city. The gardens were established as early as 1816 and Australia's first farm is evident in the middle garden. It is a delight to explore the collection of Australian and international plants, fountains, statues and monuments.
Also located in the Gardens is the National Herbarium of New South Wales, which houses plant specimens collected by Sir Joseph Banks on Captain Cooks east coast voyage in 1770.
