Although Adelaide’s Bicentennial Conservatory was built in 1988 to celebrate Australia’s bicentenary I’ve yet to walk through it, even though I’ve walked by it on more than one occasion. I reckon that this is the year that I may actually see how beautiful it is inside, but I’ll probably wait until it’s a bit cooler as I’ve heard it can get quite humid in there.

I think it’s great that they accepted Guy Maron’s design as he’s a South Australian architect. Although the whole structure is 100 metres long, 47 metres wide and 27 metres high, as you can see from the picture it’s quite delicate in design.

Conservatory

Last I heard it housed between 3000-4000 plants that were specifically selected from Australasia and Malaysia. The Department Of Environment And Heritage has a lot more information on this remarkable structure, which can be found in the Botanical Gardens, including opening hours and admission prices.

The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look and as you can see is great for photo blogs. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is! I am so thrilled with this theme that I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze theme today!
