Started in 1981 by members of the Australian Rhododendron Society, North West Tasmanian branch and is now an independent, non-profit organisation. Maintained predominantly by volunteers, our vision is to be a world recognised woodland garden showcasing and protecting the Rhododendron genus. See over 22,000 rhododendrons and other select plants with beautiful walking tracks, lakes, bridges and our unique wildlife.

I was surprised and delighted by the wonderful display of Rhododendrons, totally managed and staffed by volunteers. The autumn colours were particularly beautiful in the Japanese section.

Fern Glade is beautiful place for a walk and or a BBQ with family. So peaceful and abundance of bird life. If your very lucky you may even see a platypus, I have.

The penguin parade at the little penguin observatory in burnley was such a cool experience. It was very different from the Phillip Island penguin parade and felt a lot more natural. It was so nice to see people volunteering their own time so we could learn about the penguins and see them in their own habitat.
