Peacehaven Botanic Park offers something for everyone depending on your interests. Whilst meandering through the pathways you will discover the many botanic showpieces that the unique location has to offer.

1 Entrance Gates – traditional and imposing entrance gates constructed using local artisans and materials.

2 “Friends of the Park – Wildlife Garden” – a garden specifically designed to attract native wildlife into urban areas. The garden will educate visitors of the kinds of flora they can plant in their own backyards to encourage native wildlife.

3 The Compass Garden – a pivotal focus for many visitors. A living, breathing monument to the absolute need to spread the message of peace to the four corners of the world.

4 Viewing Rotunda – a place to rest weary legs, designed for sheltered viewing of the panoramic eastern Downs to the Bunya Mountains. An ideal place to appreciate the work in progress and the scale of the Botanic Garden.

5 Dry Scrub Area and Bush Food Garden – follow the meandering paths and discover the original flora that grew throughout Highfields and surrounding areas. Let your culinary imagination be inspired by the Bush Food Garden, featuring traditional bush foods from Highfields and surrounding areas and throughout Australia.

6 Prehistoric Corner – this is where you will find the Wollemi Pine Tree, one of the oldest and rarest trees in the world. Discovered in Australia in 1994, the Wollemi is an ideal addition to the Park’s Prehistoric Corner and holds pride of place amongst other ancient plants, such as cycad palms.

7 Lake Area – listen out for the cry of various water birds amongst the cacophony of frog calls. The jetty and refuge island make an ideal place to conduct bird watching activities.

8 Formal Garden – a work in progress, an architecturally designed and landscaped formal garden.

9 Rainforest Area – making full use of the site’s gently sloping topography, the rainforest area borders on a creek which slowly meanders from the Compass Garden down to the Lake Area. Featuring native plant varieties from throughout Australia, be sure to keep an eye out for plants that bear traditional bush foods.

10 Sclerophyll Forest – most of the wooded parts of eastern Australia are sclerophyll forests. Pay your respects to the old and venerable Eucalypts which provide a wonderful sense of place and an established quality to the Park as a living botanical history.
