What it is

The garden covers around 27 hectares with collections of rainforest plants, eucalypts and other Australian natives, succulents, a rose garden and a sensory garden, along with ponds and wide lawns. The Gleniffer Brae manor house, built in the 1930s in an English style, stands within the grounds.

Paths, a children's play area and picnic spots make it a popular place for families, and the escarpment of Mount Keira forms the backdrop to the west.
