Guilfoyle's Volcano

Guilfoyle's Volcano is a unique and historical attraction located in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Australia.

Originally built in 1876 by William Guilfoyle, the volcano was redesigned and repurposed in 2010 as a water reservoir by landscape architect Andrew Laidlaw. Visitors can enjoy the stunning view across the collection of drought-tolerant plants, explore the wetlands and floating islands inside the volcano, and take in the beautiful views of the Melbourne CBD. The best time to visit is during the spring and summer months when the weather is warm and sunny. The Royal Botanic Gardens are open every day from 7:30 am to sunset, and visitors can reach Guilfoyle's Volcano by public transportation or by driving, with parking available at the gardens. Admission is free, making it a must-visit attraction.
