Australian Geographic magazine listed us as one of the gardens you need to visit. With our plethora of native plants, Tondoon Botanic Gardens is akin to a living museum bursting with scenic beauty and valuable historical information.

It’s in our nature

There’s so much to see and do at Gladstone’s award-winning Botanic Gardens. From the iconic Crown of Gold tree, which is in full bloom during summer, to the orchid house which showcases unique orchid species. Our collection of more than 3,000 plant varieties, 90% of which are native to the region, are cultivated right here on the rolling 83-ha property neighbouring Mount Biondello.

Walking trails curve through a variety of rainforest types and an arboretum of sentinel-like blue gums. Plant-aficionados of all fitness levels can amble across the grounds and uncover some rare and endangered species on show.
