George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens
These historical gardens showcase the flora of northern Australia and other tropical habitats over 42 hectares of monsoon forests, coastal foredunes, mangroves and open woodlands.
The gardens feature over 400 palm species, every Boab species in the world, and a self-guided walk displaying Aboriginal plant use, explaining the traditional uses of local plants.
Since its establishment in the 1870's, the gardens have survived cyclones, wildfires, and World War II. The Wesleyan Church, formerly located on the corner of Mitchell and Knuckey Streets in the city, has been restored and relocated to the gardens. A spectacular day out for the faimly.
