chelsea australian garden @ dandenong ranges botanic gardens

Chelsea Australian Garden at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens in Olinda is an absolute showstopper. After winning Gold at the renowned Chelsea Flower Show in London, this replicated and expanded design now graces the Dandenongs. Wander downhill along the sweeping trail through 15,000 native plants and you’ll discover a picturesque pond with flowing waterfalls and lively frog sounds (though spotting them can be tricky!). Stroll across the water via the bridge or hop along stepping stones in the dry riverbed. The atmosphere here is serene and magical, and a QR code at the entrance lets you enjoy an audio guide while exploring. Mamma can’t wait to see how this breathtaking garden changes with the seasons.
