What to do on a Brisbane Winter’s Day in the sun
Try a walk amongst wattle blossoms that stun
Sparking in the sunlight with their green and gold,
For all in Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens to behold.
Lambs Tails, Zig Zags, Silver Wattles, Golden Wattles in bloom,
And more with buds ready to burst from the Winter gloom.
Poem by Mike Gilmour©
Come join Mike Gilmour, self-styled Wattle Wag of Queensland in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha to view the wattles in blossom on a guided walk.
