WHAT TO EXPECT

The Royal Botanical Gardens walk is a fun and easy hike for beginners and newbies!

The Track is a 8 km loop that takes roughly 3 hours to complete depending on our pace. 

All ages and fitness levels are welcome to this event.

The Royal Botanical Gardens Cranbourne has some fantastic highlights including some great lookouts, plenty of kangaroos and of course, the beautifully designed Australian Gardens which showcase the local flora of Australia. Australian Garden is an award winning, contemporary, and stunningly landscaped garden that will blow you away the first time you see it. 

After we finish the walk, we can drop into the Australian Garden Café for post hike coffee and lunch.
