Walawaani Njindiwan Njin Booderee - Welcome everyone, this is Booderee

Booderee Botanic Gardens are the only Aboriginal-owned botanic gardens in Australia. Here visitors can learn about bush tucker and medicinal uses of plants and the long association that Koori people have with the area and the plants of south eastern Australia.

Enjoy the peaceful setting of the Gardens by relaxing on the grass lawns, or using the picnic tables provided. At the Scribbly Lawn, electric barbecues and a sheltered picnic area are available for large groups or wet weather use. There are a number of beautiful walking trails through the Botanic Gardens and it is an excellent place to observe birds and other animals.

Book a ranger-guided walk through the Botanic Gardens for your school group. These popular walks are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Booking is essential.

Learn about the fascinating plants of the region and how they have been and continue to be used by local Koori people.

Follow the well-formed paths through the rainforest, heath, forest and other cultivated areas. Many of the paths through the Gardens are suitable for assisted wheelchair use and prams.

Experience some of the natural coastal vegetation communities of the area by walking along one or more of the nature trails. You can combine the nature trails and other paths to do a loop walk around the Gardens of 3.7 kms. Allow from one hour to a whole day for your visit.
