悉尼10月6日是Labor Day Holiday，长周末，虽然天不好阴雨绵绵的，不过总是得外出干些什么。
我们昨天去了蓝山（Blue Mountains）的小镇 Leura，因为那里正在举办Leura Gardens Festival，时间是从4th October 到 12th October （Sun)。
具体可以看这个官方的网页http://www.leuragardensfestival.com.au
所以有兴趣的悉尼同学可以在下个周六去，从悉尼开车去蓝山走4号高速公路转32好Great Western Highway也就一个半小时到2个小时的车程。
蓝山的中心城镇其实有两个，一个叫做Katoomba，著名的看The Three Sisters的Echo Point，Scenic World（Cableway，Railway，Walkway和Skyway）都在Katoomba。
还有一个小镇离Katoomba也就是3-5分钟的车程，叫做Leura，这个小镇我们每次去蓝山必去，因为我们特别喜欢小镇的Leura Mall，一条小马路两边很多非常精致的小店和Cafe，安静和有情趣的地方。

Leura Gardens Festival一共开放了几个私人的Gardens供游人参观。
门票是5刀Single Ticket一个Garden（小孩免费），18刀Combination Ticket看9个Gardens。
看看下面的地图。
九个Gardens的名字和地址
1. Shenstone

The abundant fruit trees and the low stone walls built by Sorensen give a delightful mountains feel to this garden.
2. Rustlings
Rustlings 39 Woodford Rd. Courtesy Mr. & Mrs. Fisk This property is 80 years old. At the front gate a Wisteria arbour invites and leads you in to this well hidden garden.
3. Brabourne

Greenheys, Dead End House and Soleby are three adjacent gardens, presented in combination for the first time "Greenheyes" has been owned by the current owners, Mr. & Mrs. Newbury, for over forty years, and is very much their creation.
