On our last day in Brisbane, we spent the morning strolling in Mount Coot-tha Botanic gardens.These 52 hectare Queensland's premier subtropical botanic gardens are located 7 kms from the city centre. According to the leaflet, there are over 20 000 plants representing approximately 5000 species from around the world. 
I especially enjoyed the spectacular colours of the Arid Plants region and the Cactus House
They also have a Fragrant Plant and Herb Garden, Exotic Rain forest and a Japanese Garden.
