  • The conservatory in Adelaide Botanic Garden, South Australia, is one of Australia's most prized buildings. It was constructed for Australia's bicentenary in 1988 to house a tropical rainforest which is now thriving, but Rob was able to get a sneak preview inside before it opened and he explains some of the revolutionary features of this impressive building.

    Wow! I can't wait for 1989 to come around so we can see what it looks like!

    I was a child of the 1970's and loved the Curiosity Show. Thanks Rob for your book presentation at the Salisbury Library recently.
    I'm a regular at the conservatory. Some years ago they stopped using the heating system but it still looks great. As a bonus they made it free to enter.

      Thanks very much - yes, I enjoyed the author's talk. The conservatory is a 'must see' for visitors to Adelaide - Rob

    I remember when David Attenborough visited the conservatory to promote The Private Life Of Plants TV series. I managed to get his autograph there.

      I looked after him for a few days in Adelaide. As nice a man offscreen as he is onscreen. A giant of natural history - Rob

    You can see the plants from the road now. I suppose they've had 32 years to grow.

    0:31 "within cooee" is an australian expression equivalent to "within near"

      "Cooee" is also a clue in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", a Sherlock Holmes story.

    Is it still open? I remember hearing/reading somewhere that the State Government was considering closing down the Bicentennial Conservatory to save costs.

    I think the day it opened 32 years ago was the last time I went there. I imagine all the trees and plants would be full size now.

      We get a few reports of that. It seems to be some technical mismatch as we can't hear it here and it doesn't show up in any waveforms - Rob

      Perhaps it's due to being filmed in PAL 50hz. In US the rate was 60hz NTSC.?
