Specialising in cool climate plants from Australia and around the world, Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah features more than 6,000 species spread across 28 hectares of cultivated land as well as an additional 244 hectares of wilderness.
Description
Located on the Bells Line of Road (the quieter ‘road less travelled’ route from Sydney) the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden sits at an altitude of 1000 metres and is the highest botanic garden in Australia as well as one of only two gardens in the world located within a World Heritage-listed area.
For road-trippers wanting to explore the Blue Mountains in all its glory, the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden offers an expansive experience: there are incredible views, both of the escarpment and sweeping vistas towards Sydney; cool, fresh, clean air; magnificent Australian wildlife, including more than 150 native bird species; and glorious seasonal colour, from spring blossoms to the changing foliage in autumn.
The gardens are a lovely place to picnic, whatever the season, with tables, shelters, barbecues and lawns where children can run free!
