The 250-acre Arid Lands Botanical Garden on the coast in Port Augusta (three hours' drive north of Adelaide) was a wonderful visit. Not only is it free, but there is also a cafe that serves great fresh food and fantastic Australian wine. The gardens invite you to hike with lots of bird life, amphibians and lizards, and ideas on how to make a colorful garden with as little water as possible. There are six specialty gardens, overlooking the Flinders Range and gray mangroves, emu and turkey bushes, as well as very rare plants. It's amazing how beautiful the edge of the outback can be.
