Little Pickle Cafe
A small cafe near the Robertson Building. The coffee here is mostly catered towards uni students, so don't be surprised if it does not taste like the normal coffee you'd have at other cafes.

Sydney Region Flora Garden
A garden entirely dedicated to flora found within the Greater Sydney region. It's not overly large, but it gives a quick insight to what you can find in the harbour city's many national parks, gardens and reserves.

Banksia Garden and Centre
Reflects the flora more seen in the coastal parts of mid-Western Australia, part of the Outback, and most of what is seen here requires quite a long drive from Perth. For the most part however, what you see here is much more colourful than the flora seen in the Red Centre garden. The nearby Banksia Centre is occasionally open, but not all the time.

The Coffee Grounds
A mid-range cafe with an extensive breakfast and beverages menu for a cafe of its size. However, the opening hours can largely vary, and it highly depends on the activity levels of the university.
