Araluen Botanic Park - last of the Tulips..

A visit to Araluen botanic park today. It was disappointing cause its main attractions, the tulips are mostly dying off. Guess I went too late and, its the last time I can be going since the place is closing down after this year cause the government is not supporting them. What a waste and a pity for such a nice place to be closing down....

Took some pics, only a few miserable tulips though. The massive ones, I missed it, missed the season.....Well, I cant help it. Weather isnt good past weeks..

Here are some of the pictures...

In conclusion, drove for 140+km today, for a non-tulip today to Araluen..Well, at least I've been there before it become a wasteland sometime quite soon...

Fruitful Sunday..
