The Banksia Gardens
and Arboretum
Gibson South: Australian and New Zealand Drosera
While there are those who say the Australian and New Zealand lands lack
culture nearly as much as does North America (with the notable exceptions
of the Galleria and yourself, of course), we find a quaint charm
in their rough natures. And here, for your pleasure and titillation,
are some of the finest jewels from those raw lands.
