- An awe-inspiring Red Sand Garden

Tours, activities and programs in the Australian Garden provide a range of informative and exciting experiences for visitors of all ages.
Once you have finished in the Australian Garden, head into the bushland and picnic areas or visit the Gardens Shop or Boonerwurrung Cafe.
The Woodland Picnic Area is a fantastic space for family, friends and community groups. It has free gas barbecues, picnic tables, a huge children's playground and large open spaces for ball games. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Entry to the Woodland Picnic Area is free. The Woodland Picnic Area can be accessed from the Australian Garden car park (by foot 400m walk).
The ten kilometres of walking tracks, abundance of native animals and Trig Point, a 360-degree lookout tower, make the Gardens an ideal place for natures-lovers to enjoy the Australian bush. The Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne are just a 45 minute drive from Melbourne.
