Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre, Botanical garden in Burrumbuttock, Australia

The four-hectare center contains a large dam, wetlands, natural woodland, and native garden beds displaying plants from Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands.

Established in 1995 on a former stock reserve and public watering place, the center transformed from its designation as Public Watering Place 443 in 1904.

The Discovery Centre features aquaria showcasing native fish from the Murray-Darling Basin and houses Southern Corroboree frogs in dedicated preservation spaces.

Over 2000 primary school children participate annually in educational programs, while local volunteers maintain the grounds every Wednesday throughout the year.

The rammed earth building, constructed in 2005, serves as an educational facility with extensive interpretative signage explaining local environmental narratives.
