Bushland Nature Walk

A special guided walk to explore the Gardens’ Bushland Precinct, across the Black Mountain road from the main part of the Gardens. The walk celebrates the official opening of the Walk ten years ago, in December 2016. We also celebrate the official opening of the Gardens in the month of October 1970.

The Bushland Nature Walk meanders through the Bushland Precinct of the ANBG, which is one of the few botanic gardens that has a section of original natural flora. The walk takes you through open forest and features expansive views to Canberra City and Parliament House. Some of the plants are labelled and you will find interpretive signs about the biodiversity, fire ecology and soil of the area. The walk culminates at a viewing platform offering spectacular views across Lake Burley Griffin. Return is via the same path.

Easy to medium on uneven ground, a few stairs and short steep sections. There are some places to rest along the way. Distance: 3.2 km
