I came across Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick while surfing the Net. It is conveniently located close to the exit of Monash Freeway, at 668 Princes Highway, Berwick.
The Botanic Park comprises of 39 hectares of walking trails, lakes, and grassland.
The driveway into the park is lined with oak trees. The first thing we saw was a rose garden! Luckily there were some roses in bloom. The roses were so beautiful and fragrant.

There were many lakes within the park, one of which had water lily plants. There were no water lily flowers in bloom when we were there, just buds. It will be a wonderful sight when all the water lilies are in full bloom, and the lake is covered in a sea of pink!

Besides lakes, there are two fossil seams in the park. The fossil sites contain fossilised wood, leaves, and pollens of flowering plants and conifers dating more than 22 million years! Another highlight of the park is the boardwalk. Does it not look dreamy?

There is also a lookout tower in the park. From the Hoo Hoo Tower, we could see new and large residential towers, the freeway, and large reserves of green.

The Wilson Botanic Park is a great place for a picnic, or a leisurely walk around the park.
