Around Oz in an hour
Discover diversity in Australia's flora at YOUR National Botanic Gardens. Take in some of the 7,000 natives from all over the country.
This program is available as a DIY Explorer (self-guided) activity or as a Botanical Expedition (guided) activity.
Who is it for?
This program is designed for Years 4-12
DIY Explorer (free)
Some teacher preparation might be useful. Otherwise students can simply walk (30-40 minutes) along the Main Path and take in the ambience, learn from the signage and see some of the diverse living collections in the Gardens.
There are currently no specific activities or worksheets for this activity.
A brochure, with a map of the Gardens, is available from the Visitor Centre.
