After Darwin we made our way to Perth

 

 

Day trip to Araluen Botanical Gardens

This is located in Roleystone and is a must to visit

 

 

 

 There are many plants that flourish in the valley

 

 

 

 

 In 1929 

 Mr J J Simmons established a holiday camp here for young Australian orphan boys

situated on 60 acres

 

 

 

 

 

Araluen Botanical Garden caters for weddings and many other functions

 

 

 

 Today the establishment has govonment funding and many local volunteers to help maintain the paths and gardens

It is a place of peace and tranquillity
