Sydney's beautiful and somewhat eerie camellia garden that many people probably don't know about. The garden is named after the late world camellia authority Professor EGWaterhouse. Inside the garden, winding paths lined with mossy, unique walkways are planted with various camellias. This season, camellias are blooming one after another. Moorhens, lizards, grey-headed flying foxes, and sulfur-crested cockatoos can be seen everywhere, making it very suitable for families with babies to play.

Camellia Gardens, located in Caringbah in southern Sydney, was started in 1970 as part of the Captain Cook Bicentenary Plan, with the first plantings in 1969. Now the garden has developed into a beautiful camellia garden with over 450 varieties, awarded the International Camellia Society's International Camellia Garden of Excellence honor.

On July 18, 1970, the wife of the Governor of New South Wales, Mrs. Cutler, officially opened the garden.

Inside the garden, paths crisscross. Strolling along the paths, various plants accompany you, of course the most numerous are the blooming camellias.

Entering the garden, a stream runs through it with bridges and flowing water, giving a feeling of walking into a tropical rainforest.

Every weekend and holiday, large numbers of residents and tourists come to stroll and enjoy the scenery in the garden; many couples also hold weddings and take wedding photos in the garden.

The only somewhat eerie thing about the garden is that when you enter the back gate, you look up and see dense clusters of bats hanging on the branches. These creatures called grey-headed flying foxes are Australia's unique flying foxes, the largest bats in Australia, and are protected animals in Australia.

Bright camellias are already blooming all over the branches.

The stream attracts many wild ducks and rare migratory birds.

This garden is not large, mostly families with children come to play. Birds in the garden are free-range, so visitors often bring bread to feed the birds. It's a good place for parent-child activities.
