Description

When sunlight rakes through the gum trees and sparkles off the central lake, Wittunga Botanic Garden looks as pretty as a picture. Indeed this once private family garden is a marvellous spot to escape the crowds. Throw down a rug and rest on shady lawns or take the family for a picnic.

The garden also serves the educational and scientific communities. In particular, shrubs, heaths and trees from Australia and South Africa have been cultivated to demonstrate similarities and differences between the two types of flora. Guided walks leave the car park at 10.30am every Tuesday during spring.
