It’s Christmas Day and the public transport is FREE!!!! So we took this opportunity to travel around. After the church service, we went to the Shrine of Remembrance and Royal Botanical Garden. The Shrine of Remembrance is the place to remember the sacrifices the Australian soldiers made during the war time.  Again, let the pictures do all the talking.

The Royal Botanical Garden is located nearby and this place is best for those nature lovers.

The garden is big. Check out the map. The walking path sums up to about 1.5km.

It’s a nice place to have picnic and to be with the nature.

We started the journey feeling very excited

After almost 3 hours spent around the shrine and the garden, under a quite hot weather, we were exhausted.
