Mount Tomah Botanic Garden
Mount Tomah Botanic Garden Review
This is the cool-climate branch of Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens (30 km northeast of Mount Victoria). The garden is 3,280 feet above sea level, and is a spectacular setting for native and imported plants. You'll find beautiful rhododendrons and European deciduous trees, as well as plants that evolved in isolation for millions of years in the Gondwana Forest. The famous Wollemi Pine (once thought to be extinct) is also here. There are picnic grounds, a cafe with views of the ranges, and a daily guided tour at 11:30 am. Admission is free.
