At the base of Mt Coot-tha, this 52-hectare garden houses a plethora of mini-ecologies, from cactus, bonsai and herb gardens, to rainforests and arid zones. Free guided walks are held at 11am and 1pm (public holidays excepted). Self-guided tours, which include an Aboriginal plant trail, can be downloaded from the website.
It's approximately 30 minutes by bus (route 471) from Adelaide St, opposite King George Sq.
