Just south of Sydney Harbour, roughly southeast of the Opera House, lies the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens -- a sprawling 30 hectares of green next to the Sydney central business district, and contiguous to the 35 hectares of Sydneys Domain. The Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens are open to the public throughout the year except on Christmas Day and Good Friday. Established in 1816, the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens are Australias oldest scientific institution with plant collections of more than 7500 species. It is also the site of Australias first farm.
