Description
Located in Olinda, RJ Hamer Arboretum is a standout attraction featuring over 150 species of native and exotic trees.
Visitors can explore the Arboretum at their own pace, taking peaceful strolls along the walking tracks and trails that crisscross through the area. The stunning scenery across the Yarra Valley and Warburton Ranges can be enjoyed, and picnics can be had on the lush green lawns surrounded by majestic trees.
The best time to visit the Arboretum is in the summer when the trees are at their best, or in autumn when the deciduous trees showcase a rich array of colors. Winter also offers a unique viewing experience with the tranquil resting of the deciduous trees contrasting with early flowering species.
To get to the Arboretum, visitors can drive via the Eastern Freeway and Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, or take a train to Belgrave and then catch the 688 bus to Olinda. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, photographer, or simply seeking relaxation, the Arboretum has something for everyone.
