That is too early to get in.
From their website:
https://parksaustralia.gov.au/botanic-gardens/visit/opening-hours/
The Australian National Botanic Gardens are open from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm every day except Christmas Day.
Someone visiting from Townsville may not appreciate how cold and foggy it can be at 8 a.m. mid winter here.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Hi all visiting from Townsville looking info birds
Hi all visiting from Townsville looking info birds, is there any point going to Botanical Gardens around 8.00am I am mostly interested in taking photos. I thought because of the cold weather they may not get up soon early and I thought
starting around 10.00am would be better. Any ideas
