After breakfast, Sarah, Rhonda and Dan headed out for a tour of the Adelaide Hills. We drove first to the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, climbing about 2,000 feet out of Adelaide, with views reminiscent of the Great Smoky Mountains. We parked at the top of the mountainside garden and strolled down the winding paths through the overarching eucalyptus trees, with rhododendrons and azaleas in full and glorious bloom below. The garden is planted with temperate-climate trees, shrubs and flowers from around the world, identified with small plaques giving names and origins. It was so beautiful; evidence of our Creator’s boundless imagination.
We came to a pond in the lower part of the garden surrounded by water plants with the largest leaves we have ever seen; like something out of the Jurassic period.
This feeling continued as we hiked back to the top of the garden through Fern Gully, with huge, tree-like ferns arching over the path.
