Where can I have an autumn wedding in Australia with colourful leaves?
So I'm aware that Australian native trees don't change colour but can you think of any botanic gardens, national parks or locations that would be good for an Autumn wedding? I really want a wedding with a background filled with different coloured leaves! :)

- Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne - Don't trust the weather! lol Some areas of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Brisbane are also very pretty in Autumn. Both have websites online and bookings are essential good luck
- Definitely The Gorge, Launceston (Tasmania). It's a naturally occurring volcanic cleft (no longer live) in the rocks which has filled with water over the ages. It's beautiful. And only 5 minutes drive from the centre of the CBD (or 20 mins walk). See the website here: http://www.launcestoncataractgorge.com.au/index.html Because it's a natural attraction which has been utilised by settlers it has a unique blend of endemic native tress and other plants, and also a wide variety of European plants, so it is always very green even when the leaves are falling in Autumn. There's an area which is used for weddings on the upper side of the gorge... it's lovely and there is a fine restaurant a minute's walk across the green alcove surrounded by trees. A suspension bridge (safe) that takes you from one side of the to the other, making a nice walk. There is also a chairlift that sits two at a time which will carry you right around the area for a very reasonable fee. Photos taken at the Gorge are always lovely with perfect benches and little hideaway corners, huts and loveseats surrounded by plants. There are many wallabies and possums who make their home at the Gorge at if you go early in the morning or later in the afternoon you will see them hopping about peacefully on the grassy areas. There are also many species of native birds living in the Gorge and, for very pretty photos, there are also peacocks, who are not afraid to come right up to you, take food from you and get photographed with all their plumage showing! I'd say forget about Botanical Gardens, they are pretty but ultimately fake... go with the Gorge!!!
- The Botanical Gardens in Wollongong NSW have heaps of weddings there. You can choose the rose garden or any where else you like. But it does book out quickly.
- Mount Lofty park. It killer up there. Its in Adelaide, SA
