The Royal Botanic Gardens a veritable oasis of greenery boasts breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. The gardens were the first area of cultivated land on the Australian continent and are home to The Sydney Tropical Centre with the Pyramid Glasshouse, the Herb Garden, The Fernery, the Rose Garden, a walled Cactus and Succulent Garden and, the latest addition, the Oriental Garden. This is a great place for picnics or sunbathing, and for spotting an ibis or cockatoo or three!
