The South-West of Western Australia is a Biodiversity Hotspot, one of two in Australia, with only 35 recognised globally. These free one-hour guided walks commence at 11am and 2pm each day. Meet at the clock near the café bridge.

The Photographic Group invites you to join us on a CAMERA AND CAFÉ WALK in the Gardens. Bring along your camera (the camera in your phone is fine!) for a guided walk led by experienced photographers, followed by morning tea and a chat at Pollen Café.

Join a free guided walk to get up close and personal to our wonderful Australian flora, focusing on the interesting details of Australian plants that we might not notice at first glance. These one-hour guided walks are held at 11am and 2pm each day Monday 15 June to Sunday 21 June.

The next Cameras and Café Walk will be held on Saturday 20 June 2026. To be part of it you need to be at the bus stop at 8.40 am. Participants can choose to move around the Gardens as a group or head off with their camera individually. We reconvene for a chat at Pollen Cafe at around 10.30 am.

A special Cameras and Café Walk will be held on Saturday 11 July 2026. The Gardens are very kindly allowing us to commence at 7 am, which is just before dawn. This will maximize the chances of capturing fog and/or frost in the early hours of light.

Come on a free guided walk through the Australian National Botanic Gardens and look at the life story of plants on earth, the main evolutionary changes that have occurred in plants over 3 billion years and how plants have changed our planet. These one-hour guided walks are held at 11am and 2pm Mon 20 July to Sun 26 July.
