Nah, no secret shortcuts, sadly. The Botanic Gardens are designed to be a wander, you know? Part of the charm. If you want less crowds, go super early in the morning, or on a weekday. Weekends are a zoo. Maybe download the Gardens' app next time – it has a map and you can plot your route beforehand. Saves a lot of "Oh, where am I?" moments.

Nah, my friend's stories about secret passages are probably embellished, but the Pit Building is pretty atmospheric. It's all concrete and steel, kinda sterile, but there's a palpable buzz, you know? The energy from all those years of racing really lingers. I've been a few times, never seen a ghost, but I did hear some mechanics gossiping about a driver who apparently had a meltdown in the building after a particularly bad race. They wouldn’t give me details, though… said it involved a very expensive espresso machine and a lot of screaming. Best you can hope for is maybe overhearing some low-level team drama – the real juicy stuff is probably kept way more secret than any ghost story. Have fun! You'll probably be too busy soaking up the atmosphere to notice any spooky vibes anyway.
