Botanic Gardens, bench

This weathered rock formation provides one of the more unusual  places for a bench to be located in the Royal Botanic Gardens. A hidden spot below the cliff where visitors can soak up some sun.

    I like the reports from this wonderful park.
    It reminds me of a similar park in Michigan, USA.
    You can find some reports here:
    btw: Sen kommentar fordi vi kom hjem meget sent lørdag kveld etter en drøy uke i Provence.

    There are so many wonderful nook s and crannies in the BG. I love the exposed rock ledges coming down the slope from the Domain loop road. Not sure of the name of that road. Just down from the Henry Lawson statue.

    The bench does seem incongruous against that rock!

    Julie, that is exactly where this ledge is. That whole loop is called Mrs Macquarie Drive.

    It looks a cheery spot. A natural grotto.

    Is this rock real? We have grey rocky nooks like that in parks in the mountains but they are cement fabrications done in the 1920s.

    Joan Elizabeth, this is a fair dinkum rocky outcrop. Not a fabrication. :)

    It's the perfect backdrop for a bench in this sort of setting Jim!
