GEORGE BROWN DARWIN BOTANIC GARDENS

Public BBQ

Darwin's botanic gardens, free to enter and expansive enough to make a genuine workout of a visit, as the site runs across a hilly slope; pick up a layout map if you want to cover it all. The tropical forest walk is the pleasantest part, and the Madagascar and African section with its massive baobabs, including the native Adansonia gregorii, is the standout. A cafe sits on the grounds. The gardens survived Cyclone Tracy in 1974 largely thanks to George Brown, for whom they are named. Two caveats: signage and plant descriptions are sparse, and one path crosses an old landfill site, complete with warning sign.
