The Queens Gardens were established in 1870. Look for the aviary and even the cactus garden. One gets magnificent views of Castle Hill from the Queens Gardens. The Palmetum has a lush tropical feel with its water features, walkways and palms. Its tropical forest walk is especially wonderful with gigantic specimens of Monkeypod Trees from Sth America and if you walk to the bridge you can usually see many Australian freshwater turtles or tortoises. The 1934 Tumbetan lodge building has a fine café for a morning tea break. It was originally a railways cottage and later had other uses.
