The stunning new Cairns Botanic Gardens visitor centre officially opens today.Situated just along from the Tanks Arts Centre, the vsitor's centre is likely to be a popular talking point for it's unique architecture, reflected the neighbouring flora and fauna.
Check out the creative local products for sale in the shop and the lovely botanic gardens book.
The popular Trinity Beach L'unicos, will be opening the cafe there soon.
Already some have said birds are haplessly flying into the mirrored walls, and according to reports, at least two have hit the walls.
Councillor Pyne has defended the structure saying people need to focus their passion in the right area.
''A cat outside will do more damage in one night," Rob Pyne says. ''Some people need to get a grip and note some of the positive initiates of Council, such as registration of cats and moves to address that, quite a real problem.''
