SSP .TUE ..CHERRY BLOSSOMS Auburn

Today we walk the Auburn Botanical Gardens in Spring. We have timed this to avoid the endless crowds and catch the tail end of the cherry blossoms. The Azaleas and many more varieties of plants and shrubs are also photo worthy. Enjoy the later start time. If you require a morning coffee, there are a few cafes in close proximity to Auburn station. For coffee snobs, Auburn does not have a coffee culture like the CBD, but passable. We will have a quick look through the bird aviary at Auburn Botanical Gardens, then walk around the corner to the Auburn Tennis Club for lunch at noon in their bistro. After lunch we walk back to the Auburn Botanical Gardens to take images of the plants and flowers Depending on what time we decide to leave the Gardens we could stop at Auburn shopping area before catching the train home as there are many eateries and the possibility a pub. Auburn is a melting pot of cultures, Turkish, Nepalese, Pakistani, Afghani, Middle Eastern and Asian, so tasty and usually low priced. How to get There: Public Transport Meet at Stand A at Auburn Train Station for the S3 Direct bus to the Gardens departing at 11.15am. If you miss the direct S3 in the morning then catch the next 909 from the station area Stand B and tell the driver that you are going to the Gardens and get off the bus at the roundabout where Chiswick Street crosses over Cumberland Street (the bus travels along Cumberland Street). There is a coffee shop at this roundabout that has a black awning. Keeping the coffee shop on your right side, walk down Chiswick Street for 5 minutes and cross over busy Chisholm Road and you will see the Gardens in front of you and the Tennis Club is to your left on Chisholm Road (same side as the Gardens). When we get off the bus at the Gardens, walk to the Auburn Botanical Gardens bird aviary. The last direct S3 bus from the Gardens to the train leaves at 14.30 or if you want to stay longer, walk to Cumberland Road (see above directions) and catch the 909 back to Auburn Station at a time that suits. Car: Free parking at the car park or nearby streets at the Auburn Tennis Club, 181 Chisholm Rd, Auburn NSW 2144.
