Bushland Nature Walk October 2026
About
Bushland Nature Walk, ANBGSaturday 24 October 2026, 9:30am to 11:30am
A special guided walk to explore the Gardens' Bushland Precinct, across the Black Mountain road from the main part of the Gardens. Today's walk celebrates the official opening of the Walk 10 years ago in December 2016. We also celebrate the official opening of the Gardens in the month of October 1970.
The Bushland Nature Walk meanders through the Bushland Precinct of the ANBG, which is one of the few botanic gardens that has a section of original natural flora. The walk takes you through open forest and features expansive views to Canberra City and Parliament House. Some of the plants are labelled and you will find interpretive signs about the biodiversity, fire ecology and soil of the area. The walk culminates at a viewing platform offering spectacular views across Lake Burley Griffin. Return is via the same path.
Easy to medium on uneven ground, a few stairs and short steep sections. There are some places to rest along the way. Distance: 3.2 km
Meet your guide at the Visitor Centre, ANBG a few minutes before 9.30 am
