Beautiful Botanical Gardens of Hervey Bay, Australia Hervey Bay has beautiful botanical gardens featuring a lake with island, native trees, and natural coastal bushland with native wildlife. This is one of the views awaiting visitors to the gardens. A lake surrounded by well manicured lawns and trees is the first impression the gardens give visitors as they leave the car park.
Paved walkways lead vistors around the gardens.
Magnificent remnant gums rise to tower above the lagoon. The lagoon attracts numerous water birds that have made the gardens their home, and the quiet hectares of trees provide an ideal habitat for numerous other birds. Bird feeding is held weekdays at 9.30 am and 3.30 pm. In a jungle-like setting, this bridge leads to a small island on which there is a stage facing the mainland lawn. Nearby is an Aboriginal Bush Tucker Garden and Cultural Trail constructed in 1995 in collaboration with the local Butchulla people.
