Floating gardens in the crater lake of Guilfoyle's Volcano

Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, Victoria

 

"Originally built in 1876 by the second director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, William Guilfoyle, the volcano is an example of beauty and practicality. Beautiful in all seasons, the volcano was originally built as a decorative folly and left abandoned for over 70 years. It was redesigned and repurposed as a water reservoir for the gardens in 2010 by landscape architect Andrew Laidlaw."
