Currency Creek Arboretum, Eucalypt research arboretum in Currency Creek, South Australia.
Currency Creek Arboretum is a research facility spanning more than 30 hectares dedicated to studying and preserving tree species. The grounds contain thousands of trees representing many different kinds, showcasing the diversity of local and related woody plants.
The site was founded in the 1990s to systematically collect and document different tree species. The project chose this location because of specific soil conditions that are favorable for the growth of many varieties.
The arboretum maintains complete documentation of each specimen through herbarium collections stored in Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth for scientific research.
The grounds can be visited on certain days, with guided tours and self-guided exploration available. Visitors should check in advance to plan for open days and find the best time to visit.
Every plant in the collection comes from seeds taken from wild populations with precisely recorded collection locations. This approach ensures the collection reflects natural diversity and remains available for future research.
