A walk in the park - Royal Botanical Garden

Sydney's Royal Botancial Garden is one of the most beautiful places in the city centre. It was here that I first experienced a little bit of Australia's wilderness by spotting cockatoos, ibises and bats. Walking through the park along the water you get the best views of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

If you are lucky you might even be able get a cockatoo landing on your shoulder (if you try to attract them with some birdseed like I did).
