Colac Botanic Gardens, Botanical gardens on Lake Colac shores, Victoria, Australia.

The fifteen-hectare garden features a network of paths, mature oak trees, and specimen gardens along the southern banks of Lake Colac.

The gardens, established in 1868 by Daniel Bunce, underwent a significant redesign in 1910 under William Guilfoyle from Melbourne Botanical Gardens.

The gardens contain over one thousand plant specimens, making them the largest provincial garden collection in Victoria.

The gardens open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering barbecue areas, a children's playground, and a café in the former curator's cottage.

Seven trees within the gardens appear on the National Trust of Victoria's Significant Trees Register, including rare specimens of Tecate Cypress.
