Winter in Australia is the best time to take the residents out on the Hardi bus and explore the local area. Residents from summer hill took a trip out to the Auburn Botanical gardens to walk through the canopies of pink cherry blossoms in the Japanese style gardens. Residents took a relaxing walk over the Japanese bridges, pausing to admire the multicoloured koi and beautiful garden houses with geese and ducks nesting alongside. The gardens are also home to native wildlife, we all enjoyed the peacocks dancing with open feathers, kangaroos and wallabies, emus and a friendly wombat came out to say g’day.
