Explore the diversity and wonder of Australian landscapes at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. The 15-hectare native Australian Garden with its striking red sand and picturesque wildflowers is perfect for curious kids and inquisitive adults. The garden also features a rockpool, waterholes, an arid garden and lifestyle gardens.  There’s a place in these gardens for everybody, with space for children to explore, families to picnic, or individuals to relax and recharge in a tranquil setting.

Book a tour on the open-air Explorer Bus around the Australian Garden and hear stories of the landscape. Then visit the Boon Wurrung Café for something sweet or savoury with views over the Garden.

The Australian Garden is surrounded by remnant bushland and wetlands, brimming with native plants, mammals and amphibians. Take a stroll or a bike ride along the boardwalks and pathways while being immersed in nature.
