rainforest trail @ Botanic Gardens

It was a long time since I last visited the Botanic Gardens. The group of walking enthusiasts made plans for a 2 hrs visit to the Botanic Gardens with promises of a good introduction to the oldest rainforests in the world, beating even those found in the Amazon River Basin. The afternoon was soaked in a light drizzle which dried out by the time we are ready to set off.

First stop, Ginger Garden.... wow, didn't realised that the Garden is done up so well now. It's sure beats the old days when there were hardly any facilities and attractions.

But the rainforest trail was kinda disappointment. It's only a short 15 mins walk and part of the trail were boarded up. Supposedly for renovation of a board-walk trail.

Then there's the evolution garden. Thanks to the commentary given by the group leader, the walk through the garden was both informative as well as enjoyable. Imaging what's to be like for a morning walk in those early history is not difficult after the trail.

If not for my wounded knee, I guess I would have enjoyed the trip even more. :)
