Day 85 Araluen

Today we went for a drive with David & Chrissy into the Perth Hills. We saw the Sanitarium factory where David worked and Kevin came over to work on several occasions over the years. We passed through beautiful orchid areas and countryside.





After lunch we went to Araluen Botanic Park. Spanning 59 hectares, the Park combines 14 hectares of carefully cultivated gardens with 45 hectares of native bushland, all connected by winding stone paths, rustic stairways, flowing streams, and heritage jarrah and stone structures. This afternoon was the first rain we have had during our holiday, so we didn't spend as much time as we may have walking the grounds as the rain started to fall after we had looked at all the tulips etc.
