A celebratory cache placed in the beautiful Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens.
A favourite haunt of the Tiki family is the Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha.
The Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha are Queensland's premier subtropical botanic gardens. These 52 hectare gardens are situated seven kilometres from the city centre in Toowong, Queensland, at the foot of Brisbane's tallest mountain, Mount Coot-tha.
The gardens were established by the Brisbane City Council in 1970, and officially opened in 1976. The gardens are the second botanical gardens established in Brisbane. The original gardens, now known as the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens are located in the Brisbane CBD. The new gardens were developed by the City Council because the original city site could not be expanded and was flood prone.
Features of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha include: Tropical Display Dome, Japanese Garden, Bonsai House, Fern House, Arid Zone and Cactus House, Exotic Rainforest, Australian Rainforest, Fragant Plant and Herb Garden, Temperate Garden, Lagoon and Bamboo Grove, Australian Plant communities, and National Freedom Wall
The gardens are open every day of the year from 8am to 5pm. Entry to the gardens is free.
Located adjacent to the entrance of the gardens is the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, which incorporates the Cosmic Skydome. Sir Thomas Brisbane, in addition to being the Governor of New South Wales after whom the city of Brisbane was named, was also an amateur astronomer.
We decided to have a quiet family celebration this year to mark the first birthday of Tiki 4. A peaceful morning spent having cake and scones in the Gardens was ideal, with many a photo being taken, and much running around by Tiki 3 in all the space he can handle! Cache contains a number of party type items plus one GeoCoin.
Trying very carefully to retain the Garden's integrity, you will not have to leave the path or enter any garden beds to find this cache. Be patient with the co-ords, as tree cover isn't kind, but this one was confirmed to be very close. Feel free to use the hints provided.
