Gardens Galore

Like most amazing cities, Melbourne has its fair share of public parks (which commonly contain gardens within the parks) scattered throughout the city.  I've posted some photos below.  Eventually, I'll get around to posting photos of one of my most favorite gardens in the city (The Royal Botanical Garden), but this should tide you all over for now:

CARLTON GARDENS

Okay, this isn't actually a park or a garden, but a boulevard near Carleton Gardens.  I'm so crazy for the Victorian terrace houses here!



Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens, Carlton

The Melbourne Museum is located in the north end of the park.
