Glasshouses
At the northern end of the Garden you will find five Glasshouse pods that provide specialised environments for our collection of cacti and succulents, bromeliads, ferns, gingers, orchids and exotic species. The Glasshouses are open on Weekdays, 9am to 5pm.
Sensory Garden
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” but is it floribunda or hybrid tea roses that you seek? In your mind’s eye, you can touch the feathery fronds of the southernwood but what does it really feel like when you run your fingers across it and what does it smell like? There is an ever changing menagerie of culinary and medicinal plants for you to explore in the herb garden. We hope our photo gallery will inspire you to take a look at the real thing in the Gardens. Then you only need to follow your nose as it draws you to the climbing frangipani, past the Arabian jasmine, over to the winter honeysuckle and onwards through the Garden.
Fauna: Birds
The Botanic Garden's diverse habitats attract a variety of birds. Forest and woodland birds include Superb and Variegated Fairy-Wrens, Red-breasted Finches, Grey Fantails, Kookaburras, Pied Butcherbirds, and Currawongs. Waterbirds (e.g. heron, moorhen, kingfisher, ibis) can be seen in the wetlands, ponds and mangroves.

Fauna: Amphibians, Reptiles, and Mammals
Our Garden provides habitats for an interesting range of native amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that breed in water: e.g. tree frogs and ground frogs. Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates with a rough scaly outer layer: e.g. lizards and snakes. Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates with a body covered in hair, fur or spines: e.g. koalas, echidnas, bandicoots, rats, bats and possums.
