Sydney Region Flora Garden

A garden entirely dedicated to flora found within the Greater Sydney region. It's not overly large, but it gives a quick insight to what you can find in the harbour city's many national parks, gardens and reserves.

Red Centre Garden
Perhaps the most driest of all gardens you could end up finding in the botanic gardens. With flora from all over the Outback (except coastal Western Australia), it may really surprise you on the diversity of Outback flora.

Rock Garden
Many rocks and the flora seen is what is usually seen in a typical rock garden in urban city parks. Not much unique flora here if you're coming from other parts of Australia, but it's worth visiting if you'd like to see water dragons roaming around the pathways.

Rainforest Gully
It's the only place where you can walk from the wet tropical north of Queensland down to the wilderness of Tasmania in just three minutes, the Rainforest Gully features a vast array of flora from many different Australian rainforests.

Banksia Garden and Centre
Reflects the flora more seen in the coastal parts of mid-Western Australia, part of the Outback, and most of what is seen here requires quite a long drive from Perth. For the most part however, what you see here is much more colourful than the flora seen in the Red Centre garden. The nearby Banksia Centre is occasionally open, but not all the time.
