George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens

The garden spans 42 hectares across multiple ecological zones, featuring collections of northern Australian monsoon flora, mangroves, and tropical plant species.

Established in 1886, the gardens survived extensive damage from Cyclone Tracy in 1974, which destroyed 89 percent of the plant collection.

The gardens house the oldest building in Darwin, a former Methodist church from Knuckey Street, relocated in 2000 and transformed into Eva's Cafe.

The main entrance with visitor parking is on Gardens Road, while a secondary entrance with additional parking is accessible from Geranium Street.

The African-Madagascan section displays a collection of baobab trees, while the Snake Bean garden promotes community engagement through food cultivation.
