WHAT TO EXPECT

The Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens is a lush, expansive green space located in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. Spanning 38 hectares, it is home to a stunning variety of native and exotic plants, with a particular emphasis on the Southern Hemisphere's flora. Established in 1846, the gardens are a peaceful oasis offering visitors a chance to explore scenic landscapes, serene lakes, and winding paths.

The Shrine of Remembrance, located within the Royal Botanic Gardens, is a prominent war memorial dedicated to honoring the men and women who served, particularly those who served in World War I. Opened in 1934, the Shrine has since become a symbol of remembrance for all Australian military personnel.

The walk through the gardens and around the shrine will be around 6km in length and is rated as easy.
