CRANBOURNE GARDENS Cranbourne Gardens includes one of Victoria’s most precious areas of remnant native bushland and is the home of the award-winning Australian Garden. The 363-hectare site offers visitors the chance to explore heathlands, wetlands and woodlands as well as contemporary architectural landscapes showcasing Australia’s remarkable flora and landforms. Recognised as a site of State significance for flora and fauna conservation, with more than 25 species listed as endangered, threatened or at risk of extinction, including the Southern Brown Bandicoot, the site is a critical remnant of intact ecosystems in Melbourne’s fast-growing south-east. Facilities in the bushland include over 10 kilometres of walking tracks, six kilometres of cycling tracks, a lookout tower, picturesque shelters, barbecue facilities and picnic tables. The awardwinning Australian Garden celebrates the beauty and diversity of Australian landscapes and features approximately 170,000 plants representing 1,700 different taxa. The innovative design of the Garden has won multiple international awards. Cranbourne Gardens 14
