Yesterday I finally got a chance to visit Lennox gardens in Canberra, it’s only taken me 31 years, lol. It was a lovely day and strolling through the park and enjoying the autumn sunshine with the beautiful autumn leaves, it was just a perfect day. I had long wanted to see the park and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. I highly recommend it for visitors to town, and right at the beginning there is a cute little hidden garden with a vine clad structure surrounded by hedgerows and woodland plants and trees. In each corner there has a park bench to sit on and take in the peaceful view. My kind of place to sit quietly.
The Nara peace park and the peace bell are within the Lennox garden park as is the Chinese garden, the beautiful structures are well worth seeing and photographing, as they sit amongst manicured gardens.
There are picnics tables and plenty of room for families to enjoy an outing and a pleasant walk along the lakeside. I really wish that I had visited the gardens sooner as it was just so beautiful.
Another nice place in the city to visit is the rose gardens next to old Parliament House, if you are lucky to see the last of the seasons blooms go along for a visit. The area around there is also very beautiful and attracts many tourists daily. It may not be the big hustle and bustle of Sydney but it has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and beautiful blue skies. Canberra has plenty of green open space and parks to explore with the family all year round and great for those of us who love nature.
