Right in the city centre, Rosalind Park is a lovely green space, with lawns, big old trees, fernery and the fabulous Cascades Fountain , which was excavated after being buried for 120 years. Climb to the top of the lookout tower for sensational 360-degree views, or if you love roses, wander through the Conservatory Gardens .
The White Hills Botanic Gardens , 2km north of town, features many exotic and rare plant species, a small fauna park, aviary, and barbecue facilities.
