À propos
Faits rapides: Wandering among towering eucalyptus and graceful palms feels like stepping into a living gallery, with surprising color contrasts and the scent of damp earth after rain. Quiet lakes and winding paths shelter over 8,500 plant species and an active program of twilight tours and Indigenous-guided walks lets you hear local birdlife and stories firsthand.
Points forts: Step off the main path and you'll find the First Peoples Garden, opened in 2019, where kangaroo grass, murnong and banksias are planted around storytelling panels that explain Kulin seasons, and on warm afternoons the air is sweet with eucalyptus and toasted seed. Over the ornamental lake a family of black swans glides past the 19th-century boathouse, and if you sit on the grass you can watch the juveniles practicing preening while the city skyline sparkles beyond the gum trees.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection, paths can be uneven and shade limited in summer.
- Arrive early on weekends to secure a lakeside picnic spot and avoid the midday crowds.
- Head to the Guilfoyle's Volcano and the Conservatory for dramatic plant displays and strong photo opportunities near the glasshouse.
- For quieter wandering, skip the main lawns and follow paths east toward the Fern Gully and the Asian collection.

Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

Les guides ne gagnent que des pourboires, ils donnent donc le meilleur d'eux-mêmes
Vous donnez le pourboire que vous jugez juste
À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Melbourne, Australia, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
