Botanic Gardens
Botanic GardensThe Albury Botanic Gardens are located at the western end of Albury's main shopping area on a 4 hectare (10 acre) site. The gardens feature an impressive plant collection of both native and exotic origins. The first trees, Elm Avenue, were planted in 1877 and the tallest tree is a Queensland kauri Pine, reaching a towering 41 metres.
Historic aspects include a monument to Hamilton Hume, a rotunda
commemorating Albury's first settler Robert Brown and a sundial
which was given to the people of Albury to mark the centenary of
Mates Department Store in 1950.
The sweeping lawns, shady trees and the tranquil atmosphere make the gardens a pleasant setting for a family picnic, a leisurely stroll, a quiet read, a photography session, or a perfect for a wedding. Admission is free, and free parking is available close by.
