4/5

A very sweet and touching experience in a kind of depressing way. I know they tried hard but in the end it's the world's driest botanic garden and as sweet as it is, it's just a lot of dry first and washed out greens. It's with seeing while in Alice but exciting it is not.

Strongly recommend the walk to the lookout. We arrived with slightly more than hour before closing so the sun wasn’t too intense. The close up views of the rock wallabies darting around made for a very memorable walk.

Enjoyed brekkie at the garden cafe before venturing out on the hill trail. Saw a small group of wallabies relaxing at the top.

An amazing place to walk around. The hill provides great views and the whole place has signs full of great information about the significance of different aspects and culture. The gardens were also really enjoyable with great paths to follow. Coffee and food ok.

Nice to walk around along the river bank. It is interesting to see how a river this wide could be dry for most of the year. I didn't have much knowledge on the floras of this area so there was not much else to do.

Google directions were a bit astray but got us close enough to work it out.
The cafe offered a good variety of boutique light meals and drinks at a reasonable $ ask.
Exhibit was much of what most Australians would expect from a native Australian bush garden.
