MT. DANDENONG BOTANIC GARDENS

OLINDA, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

IMAGE NUMBER 1229

Victoria's premier cool-climate garden. The garden features important collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and more, in a setting of native and exotic trees. The garden is a year-round delight. The unusual charm of this image is that only fallen flowers are to be seen.

This image was one of a series of images commissioned from Atticus Webb by the Amber Property Group for the Geoff Brady Collection of unique Victorian landscapes in 2020. The collection was compiled to mark the opening of the Sebel Hotel in Ringwood in February 2021. The images feature throughout the hotel.
