DETAILS FOR TOUR OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS VICTORIA AND LUNCH AT JARDIN TAN
To accommodate a range of needs and the weather, details have changed.
Please read carefully. We have a large group and we all need to co-operate to enjoy the day
11am Meet at Visitors Centre, 100 Birdwood Avenue to walk and enjoy the gardens. Our walk WILL begin at 11am sharp.
12.20pm Individuals unable to walk, or who are tired from walking (having started at 11am) are welcome to join a pre-booked ‘Explorer’ covered minibus for a 30 minute tour of the gardens.
The Explorer seats 12 https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/melbourne-gardens/what-s-on-melbourne/gardens-explorer/
We have over 20 who have booked for the Walk and Lunch. If you want to ensure your seat on The Explorer, you must book in advance by depositing the booking fee into ISFAF account. This is the only way you are assured of a seat. Many of us are happy to keep walking till lunch, but The Explorer is available for individuals who wish to have a rest before lunch or are concerned if the weather is questionable. By contrast, diehard ISFAF members not travelling on The Explorer will ‘Be Prepared’ for all weather conditions… jackets/umbrellas/sunscreen etc
1pm Lunch at Jardin Tan
HOW TO FIND OUR MEETING PLACE
The Visitors Centre and Jardin Tan are both at 100 Birdwood Ave, about 100m from ‘The Observatory Gate’. The ‘Observatory Gate’ is ‘behind’ The Shrine of Remembrance.
Long term parking spots are very scarce, there are virtually none nearby. St Kilda Road is a very expensive place to park even at the best of times and there are restrictions limiting time. I strongly suggest you come via public transport.
