Wollongong Botanic Garden

Wollongong Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Keiraville, New South Wales, Australia.

The Wollongong Botanic Garden is a 27-hectare botanical garden in Keiraville, at the foot of Mount Keira, co-located with the historic Gleniffer Brae house. It contains themed areas including a rose garden, herb garden, woodland garden, azalea bank, succulents and several rainforest zones. A creek runs through the garden into a small lake with a boardwalk and central rotunda.

The Wollongong Botanic Garden was established in 1964 and opened in September 1970 at the foot of Mount Keira. It serves as the local botanical garden of the Illawarra region and is co-located with the historic Gleniffer Brae house, now used for functions and the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music. The garden also manages Puckeys Estate Reserve in Fairy Meadow, the Korrongulla Wetlands in Primbee and the Mount Keira Summit Park.

The garden serves as a learning hub where visitors can join guided tours, workshops, and nature-based activities year-round. These programs help people connect with native plants and understand the local environment better.

The garden lies at the foot of Mount Keira in Keiraville, beside Gleniffer Brae and the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music. A creek crosses the grounds into a small lake, where a boardwalk leads to a rotunda in the centre. The BHP fountain stands at the northern entrance facing the university, and the Japanese-style wooden bridge crosses the creek.

The Japanese-style wooden bridge over the creek was a gift from Wollongong's sister city Kawasaki, Japan, and was restored in the early 2000s. At the northern entrance facing the university stands the BHP fountain, whose shape earned it a place on the local art tour.
