It was New Year’s Day and so we decided to head over to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and check out the Chihuly exhibition that was on at the time. We had no idea who Chihuly was (he’s a famous American glass sculptor apparently) – but there was promo material for the exhibition all over Adelaide, so we thought we would check it out.

The glass sculptures in the exhibition were pretty cool (although some of them were a bit ‘samey’), and the old Victorian Palm House and Bicentennial Conservatory that are part of the Botanic Gardens were also quite impressive.

After we had seen all the sculptures we headed out of the Botanic Gardens for a short walk to see the nearby fruit bat colony.
