Currency Creek Arboretum, Eucalypt research arboretum in Currency Creek, South Australia.
The Currency Creek Arboretum extends across 32 hectares of land, containing more than 8,000 individual trees from 1,000 eucalypt species and subspecies.
Dean Nicolle established the arboretum in 1992, selecting this location for its specific soil conditions and starting the first plantings in 1993.
The arboretum maintains complete documentation of each specimen through herbarium collections stored in Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth for scientific research.
Visitors can explore the arboretum during scheduled open days, with the next guided tours planned for March 29 and 30, 2025.
Each plant in the collection originates from seeds gathered from wild populations, with GPS-marked collection points and four specimens planted per species.
