The George Brown Botanical Gardens next to Gardens Oval just a short distance from Darwin’s CBD.

So restful.

So quiet.

Soft grass underfoot.

Tall and well maintained trees offering a wonderfully cool canopy of shade.

Birds from time to time quietly singing.

A wonderful place of restful solitude.

Invitingly green all year around.

Human and vehicular traffic seems so distant.

Feelings of inner peace and tranquillity of the soul come to the fire.

The business of the world fades as the beautiful atmosphere of these gardens take over processes of thought and material priorities.

The Gardens – my favourite place for soul healing and sabctuary.
