Hunter Region Botanic Gardens

Only a short drive from Newcastle up the Pacific Highway, the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens has great displays of local and Australian native plants. Well set out in themed gardens it is a peaceful and relaxing place to wander around and admire a range of plant species.

Our trip started in the gift shop and café where we paid the entrance fee and enjoyed a coffee. When paying for entrance you will be given a token which operates the car park boom gate when you leave. This is just a gold coin fee.

The café also has a supply of insect repellent for free which was fantastic as the mosquitoes were everywhere.
