Foreshore Walk
2023 Dec 28
It is a short but very beautiful walk. When the weather is good it's hard to resist going into the crystal clear shallow waters.
Nice small cafe/restaurant with lovely people and quick service. It is mostly outdoor seats which are arranged and decorated nicely to compensate as much as possible for being on the side of a busy intersection. The food tastes nice but slightly more expensive than expected.
Hodgsons Lookout Park
2023 Oct 08
Very small park, small playground, and not much else. There is not much of a lookout either due to trees.
Very beautiful if you go at the right time. There are some rare and good varieties of flowers. There is a shop, cafe, toilets, picnic area, playground, and more.

The parking gets full very quickly but there's plenty of overflow parking. The cafe also had a long queue so we gave up trying it. The planted and well maintained areas are quite small compared to the whole botanical garden lands.
It's beautiful but frequently closed due to shooting in the range. The signs are also confusing and if you are unfamiliar you might enter the closed track from the end of the beach without noticing you entered the shooting range! There are lots of other beautiful tracks without all the headaches.
