Description
The Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan is the largest botanical garden in Australia, located in the southwestern Sydney suburb of Mount Annan.
Managed by the Botanic Gardens Trust, it was originally known as Mount Annan Botanic Garden but has since been renamed. The site was previously occupied by the Dharawal indigenous Australian people and later used as dairy pasture land before being acquired by the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust in 1984.
The garden offers visitors a range of features, including cultivated displays and Australian Bushland. With over 20 kilometers of walking tracks, picnic areas, and a native flora research facility, it provides a haven for wildlife and is becoming a wildlife corridor for native fauna in the Macarthur region. The garden also includes various themed areas, such as the Woodland Conservation Area, Stolen Generations Memorial, and Wollemi Discovery Walk.
Visitors can explore the garden by taking the loop roads or following designated tracks. The Woodland Picnic Area showcases the endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland, while Sundial Hill offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Sydney skyline.
The Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan offers a range of activities for visitors, including guided tours, walks, bird-watching, mountain biking, and picnicking. It also has a Café and Visitor Centre for convenience.
Located near Campbelltown and Camden, the garden is an ideal destination for visitors looking to enhance their experience in the region.
