Start the day right with a indulgent breakfast at the Bean Tree Café which you can find nestled in the Olive Pink Botanic Garden. It is Australia’s only arid zone botanic garden and the perfect place to relax amongst the native surrounds. Take the time to wander along the walking trails to see hungers of species that are native to the Red Centre or spot some of the 80 bird species which have been recorded at the park.
