Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne

Native animals, birds and reptiles are some of what can be found at the gardens on these warm Autumn days, while taking an early morning stroll around one of the walks in the older section of the Botanic gardens. Birdwatching is a great pass time and there are plenty of birds to see if you come to the gardens. Snakes and lizards to can be found in the gardens more often over the summer months, I have had close encounters with tiger snakes but never stayed around long enough to take photos. Bandicoots can often be found around the gardens and I've seen them on numerous occasions around the picnic area darting in and out of the bushes. The gardens are a great place to take advantage of Australian native flora and fauna.
