点评:Hadn’t been to the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden for ages, so one warmish April afternoon we visited the Gardens. The Plan was to park at the top car park, go into the gardens turning left at the entrance. But we turned right. The plantations were wonderful autumnal tonings, vibrant and spectacular. As we progressed we realised the mistake we had made. The pathways became steeper and more difficult to follow. The views were fantastic. Was glad when we finally hit the bottom by the lake. Problem – car was back at the top. One of us had to go back, get the car then drive to the lower car park.
The Gardens are beautifully curated with a mixture of native and introduced species. The surprises in the gullies make for stunning photos. Watch out in this area as the above ground sprinklers can suddenly go on. Even though we made a wrong choice, the gardens did not disappoint. Next time at the top car park, we will turn left as the paths there are areas that are not as steep as the right side.
There are some really beautiful sections where additional seating could be provided which, together with more signage, could improve the experience.
Return? Most definitely ….. maybe try spring next year.

植物园布置精美,混合了本土和外来物种。沟壑中的惊喜为照片增添了魅力。在这个区域要小心,因为地上的洒水器可能会突然打开。虽然我们做了一个错误的选择,但植物园没有让我们失望。下次在顶部停车场时,我们会向左转,因为有些地方不像右边那么陡峭。
有些地方真的很漂亮,可以增加座位,再加上更多的标识,可以改善体验。
再来一次?肯定会的……也许明年春天再去试试。
