Botanical Gardens

This morning we went for a hike in the Cairns Botanical Gardens. They're sort of half nature preserve and half manicured formal gardens. But they feel decidedly tropical. Here are some photos.
The large tree is a paperbark tree. It was very soft and cuddly. Next to it is one of the more landscaped areas in the garden. Can't get this stupid thing to stop underlining everything, sorry.












Here you can see a bush turkey. He's kind of cute. And in the next photo there is a strange Australian plant. It was a vine, hanging outside the ladies'.
