Wanda and I visited the Royal Botanic Garden today to check out all of the plants and have a relaxing walk. Downtown Sydney is to the west of the park.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales. I plan to return here another day to check out some of the art. Looks like a neat place and there were plenty of people going in and out.

This tree is in the process of falling over. The people who maintain the park are in the process of keeping it standing. The tree seems to be slowly winning.
A bunch of people feeding the parrots.
Some neat, big trees that evidently drop branches without warning. At least that’s what the sign said. I trust the signs in this city. They are usually right.
