To help protect the Australian Garden for generations to come, please remember to:
Bring a bag to take your rubbish home with you, always keep to the tracks for the best views of the garden, enjoy watching our birds and animals in their natural environment but please don’t feed them, give your pets a break by leaving them at home and leave the plants untouched for everyone to enjoy.
Entry to the Australian Garden is now FREE for all visitors (effective 7 July, 2011).
