A walk back to Gondwana - Special Walk - City Botanic Gardens

Please note: Ticketing for this event will close at 12pm on Wednesday 15 May 2024.

Australia is an ancient land with amazingly ancient plant species, many even dating back to the time of Gondwana, when Australia was joined to Antarctica, India and South America and when dinosaurs roamed the land. Many of our conifers emerged and thrived at this time. They still survive today, and many are showcased within the City Botanic Gardens. Come and explore these magnificent trees and find out about what makes them so unique within the Australian landscape.
