The Bicentennial Conservatory

The Adelaide Botanic Gardens certainly holds it's own. This post isn't about the garden as a whole though, but rather about a rather impressive building and collection inside it - the Bicentennial Conservatory.

The conservatory is one of the largest in the world, and certainly the largest single span conservatory in the Southern Hemisphere, and was built in 1989 to celebrate the nation's bi-centenary.

The architecture aside, what's inside (once you've paid 5 bucks to get in), is a collection of tropical rainforest plants from the North of Australia and the islands of South East Asia.
