Visit two more of the lovely gardens of Norfolk Island, enjoy the beauty of Camelot Gardens which was formerly a cow paddock prior to 2001 and is now a peaceful garden sanctuary for the enjoyment of all who visit. Then travel to the private garden of Ria Howells to enjoy the beauty of the flowers and plants before taking a wilderness walk in the natural bushland setting at the end of the garden.
