Lindsay Pryor National Arboretum, Research arboretum at Yarramundi Reach peninsula, Canberra, Australia.
The Lindsay Pryor National Arboretum spans across a large section of land beside Lake Burley Griffin, containing numerous native and international tree species.
Professor Lindsay Pryor personally planted the majority of trees between 1954 and 1957 while serving as Director of Parks and Gardens for Canberra.
The arboretum functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Australian native flora through guided tours and informational displays.
Walking paths throughout the grounds allow visitors to explore different sections of the arboretum, with designated areas for research and public recreation.
The collection includes multiple eucalyptus varieties that survived the 2003 Canberra bushfires, demonstrating their natural resilience to extreme conditions.
