About this stone
Founded in 1816, this place stands as Australia's oldest scientific institution and a lush, vibrant oasis near the city's heart. The gardens showcase an extraordinary collection of plants from Australia and around the world, with themed spaces including a fragrant Herb Garden and colorful Palace Rose Garden. Wander through the grounds and you'll encounter native wildlife like rainbow lorikeets and flying foxes, as well as one of the most remarkable botanical specimens on Earth: the ancient Wollemi Pine, a "living fossil" that was thought extinct for millions of years until its rediscovery in 1994. Beyond its role as a research and conservation hub, the spot offers stunning views of the harbour and serves as a peaceful retreat where history, science, and natural beauty converge.
