The garden, including the Arts and Ecology Centre, is set amongst 82 hectares of eucalypt and riparian forest, with creeks, lagoons and walking tracks.

SUITABILITY
Suitable for walkers out to see a range of native bush in a small area with great supporting facilities and information. Great place to take young kids for an exploration of the natural world.

HIGHLIGHTS
The Fern Glade is always a rewarding short stroll not too far from the carpark, during summer this walk provides a cool, shaded walk through a palm and fern gully. It is the perfect spot to sit and contemplate the waterfall and creek cascades in the wet season.
