Sunshine Coast Council

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
Eight artists used twenty tonnes of stone during 2005 to produce the many sculptures now placed in this bushland and landscaped garden setting. The lawn areas and seating in this area provide a secluded location for quiet contemplation of the natural beauty of the garden.
Concrete track in parts. Gentle almost flat walk, wheelchair accessible in parts.
