Camperdown botanic gardens
Camperdown botanic gardens, Botanic gardens in Camperdown, Australia.
The gardens feature a 1.2-hectare fenced botanical area at the center of a 25-hectare arboretum, situated on a hill overlooking volcanic lakes.
William Guilfoyle, director of Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, recommended establishing this public park in 1869, leading to its development as a municipal garden.
The sandstone statue of Robert Burns within the gardens reflects the influence of Scottish settlers in the Victorian region during colonial times.
The gardens include facilities such as a pavilion from the 1920s that serves as a barbecue area, and spaces for events including weddings and musical performances.
The gardens contain rare specimens including the Himalayan Oak, European Linden trees, and African Holly, growing in rich volcanic soil above twin crater lakes.
