Warrnambool Botanical Gardens

Established in 1866, the Warrnambool Botanic Gardens are a testament to the vision of William Guilfoyle, who designed them in 1879. Spanning 8.1 hectares, the gardens feature wide curving paths, ancient trees, a lily pond with ducks, a fernery, and a band rotunda. The gardens are home to a diverse collection of plants, including remnants of original planting and more than 40 different coniferous species. The Lone Pine in the centre of the gardens was planted in 1934. Spanning 8.1 hectares, the gardens’ large open lawn areas and picturesque vistas are the perfect backdrop for weddings, community events, and family picnics.
