Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden is 500 acre garden with spectacular views to the ancient Flinders Ranges. It showcases the amazing, diverse collections of flora that can be found throughout the arid zones of Australia.
Don't miss the nationally-significant collection of rare and threatened, bush tucker and medicinal arid-zone plants, as well as themed plant displays along the 12 kilometres of walking tracks.
The Red Cliff Loop will take you past the plants collected by botanist Robert Brown in 1802, together with the Matthew Flinders Red Cliff Lookout providing stunning views.
Discover the beautiful Eremophila Garden, the desert-loving plant, with its intriguing art sculptures. You can also spy on the 150 species of birds from the bird hides or watering points along the way, but you must inspect the AridSmart Display to design your own arid garden at home.
