National Rhododendron Garden, Botanical garden in Olinda, Victoria, Australia.

The garden extends across 42 hectares, featuring collections of 15,000 rhododendrons, 12,000 azaleas, 3,000 camellias, and 250,000 daffodils among native and exotic trees.

The Australian Rhododendron Society established the garden in 1960 on 100 acres of State Government land, though a major bushfire in 1962 damaged the original plantings.

The Cherry Tree Grove received its ceremonial inauguration from Prince and Princess Akishino of Japan in October 1995, strengthening international connections.

The garden welcomes visitors daily from 10 am to 4:30 pm, offering guided tours on the Garden Explorer vehicle during weekends and peak seasons.

Located at 600 meters above sea level next to Dandenong Ranges National Park, the garden receives 1,200 millimeters of annual rainfall, creating optimal conditions for plant growth.
