The city of Newcastle in New South Wales is always an engrossing place to visit. An attractive Newcastle airport hotel would be the well-reputed Country Comfort Hotel Newcastle Airport. This appealing hotel offers conveniently appointed rooms and gracious hospitality.
Visitors to the area who are plant lovers or simply desire an appealing place to spend leisure hours should make it a point to explore the well-known Hunter Region Botanic Gardens. This expansive botanical haven encompasses an area of no less than 140 hectares, a large proportion of which has been allowed to remain in its natural state of verdant bushland. Interestingly this painstakingly maintained sanctuary has been created and is managed by a group of volunteers as a non-profit entity.
It would be correct to state that this garden is constantly developing as new features are implemented for scientific, educational and recreational objectives. Both native Australian and foreign plant varieties are cultivated at this park, and are arranged in themed areas such as those reserved for banksias, acacias, grevillias, proteas, bushtuckers, ferns, palms and succulents. Among these are a number of endangered and rare Australian plant varieties.
The Hunter Region Botanic Garden is always a delight to visit as you will find many appealing features here in addition to the mesmerizing collection of plants. Guests will be able to make use of the convenient Visitor Centre, gift shop, al fresco cafe and the well-stocked library. Visitors will be able to enjoy the light lunches and special Devonshire teas that are prepared and served daily. Visitors may also picnic within the park and join the various excursions and walks that are arranged for their benefit.
You will find attractive walking pathways that extend to the areas of pristine bushland where you will find plants like angophoras, blackbutt, mahogany forest and many other natural plant varieties. Within this forested area you will find creatures like lizards, wallabies, possums, bats, koalas and various birds.
