Australian Inland Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Buronga, Australia
Australian Inland Botanic Gardens is a large garden displaying over 20,000 plants from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The site spans 152 hectares and shows different ecosystems and vegetation zones in one location.
CSIRO scientists developed the concept in 1983, leading to the site's opening in 1991. It became the first semi-arid botanical garden established in the Southern Hemisphere.
The gardens house a Bush Chapel where visitors can encounter educational programs and community gatherings. This space also functions as a research site for scientific institutions and school projects.
The gardens are open daily to visitors and entry is free. Tractor-train rides operate on Saturday mornings, and refreshments plus handcrafted items are available at the Homestead.
The site protects mature mallee forests containing Eucalyptus species over 2500 years old. Special fencing keeps rabbits and kangaroos away from these ancient trees.
