Travel instructions

Australian National Botanic Gardens is surprisingly far from public transport connections. It's a ~20 minute, mostly flat walk from the ANU Barry Drive stops along the R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 bus routes. If this isn't something you can manage, you will need car or rideshare to get there.

Entry instructions

There are 2 front entry points to the Gardens that connect to the car park. The step-free entry is just past the sheltered drop-off / pick-up point, near Pollen Cafe. Turn right to get to Pollen, or left to go to the meeting point outside the Botanical Bookshop. Additionally, there is an entrance with stairs on the other side - the bit closest to most of the parking areas. This entrance will lead you directly to the Botanical Bookshop, which is at the top of the stairs.

After entry instructions

I will be outside the Bookshop, and be wearing a yellow wide-brim hat for visibility. If it's after 10:10, follow the main path (the pebbly one) and catch us along the way.

Hazards

The main path is step-free and sealed. The other paths are not. Some may be steep, some might have stairs. At times sections of the main path maybe be temporarily closed, and detours may include unsealed / uneven / steep paths.
