Thousands of plants, including natives and some of the world’s most endangered, have been used to create lush subtropical gardens in an unused railway yard. The effect is stunning. Areas of the gardens are themed. Free guided walks run Thursday through Sunday and on public holidays twice a day (10am and 2pm Sept-May, 11am and 2pm June-Aug), and self-guided walking tours for each theme area are available.
The “art walk” helps visitors discover the interesting public art on display. On the premises are barbecues, picnic areas, and a playground. From King George Square, the park is about a 500m (1,640-ft.) walk along Albert Street.
