Take your time here, it's worth it
Cooktown Botanical Gardens的点评
点评:We visited the gardens as part of a group and were allowed just 40 minutes here. For me, it wasn't near enough. We did get the time of day right though - a little after 3 pm when the light was still strong and the ambient temperature was perfect for a garden stroll. And at that time we had the gardens to ourselves; there were just 2 other visitors. The gardens are one of the oldest in Queensland, dating from the 1870s. They are relatively small and divided into a number of different sections, and features exotic tropical plants as well as local rainforest species. I did like the way all the plants were labelled - just as you should expect for a botanical gardens. A path winds its way through the gardens, making all the sections readily accessible. And fortunately there is a lot of shade - Cooktown gets steamy hot.
I understand feral pigs have been a major problem for the gardens but now the site, including the collections of rare plants, are protected from the pigs by a heavy-duty wire fence.
翻译:我们作为一个团体的一部分参观了花园,只允许在这里停留 40 分钟。对我来说,这还不够近。不过,我们确实选对了一天中的时间——下午 3 点刚过,光线仍然很强,环境温度非常适合在花园里散步。那时我们拥有自己的花园;只有另外两个访客。花园是昆士兰最古老的花园之一,其历史可追溯至 1870 年代。它们相对较小,分为许多不同的部分,以异国情调的热带植物和当地的热带雨林物种为特色。我确实喜欢所有植物的标记方式 - 就像您对植物园的期望一样。一条小路蜿蜒穿过花园,使所有区域都易于到达。幸运的是,这里有很多阴凉处 - 库克敦变得闷热。
我知道野猪一直是花园的一个主要问题,但现在这个地方,包括珍稀植物的收藏品,都被重型铁丝网保护起来免受野猪的侵害。
