Come and discover together! Because Australia is such an ancient continent, our plants have a long and fascinating history that has resulted in a unique and diverse flora.

The Flora Australis walking tour will take us on a journey through deep time across our fascinating country as we discover the Gondwanan origins and evolution of our remarkable flora. Along our way we will discover how our plants have adapted to our soils, climates and of course fire. We begin at the Lilypad Bridge and pass through the Gondwana, Weird and Wonderful and Arid Gardens.

As we walk along Eucalypt Walk on our way back to the Visitor Centre, we consider the First Nations peoples’ knowledge and use of fire over 65,000 years. We will also consider the more recent and rapid European changes to the land that have impacted our flora.
