A little bit outside the centre of Brisbane, you'll find the city's botanic gardens, sprawling grounds of native and exotic flowers and green, to ground yourself in nature away from the city.
Roam around and find a scented garden, a bamboo forest, a cactus desert, a rainforest, a japanese garden and a huge domed tropical greenhouse.
Come on the first Saturday of the month for 4pm yoga or the first Sunday for 11am meditation in the serene surrounds.
We spent a Saturday here with three generations of my family - my two grandmothers, my mother, my sister and I.
