Creating an Australian bush garden
Donations to our 2018 Annual Appeal helped the Museum to acquire plantings for our native garden, a central feature in our newly redesigned Forecourt.
The gardens are transforming the Museum entrance, creating a bush garden filled with eucalypts, seasonal floral displays, shaded seating and a welcome to Country from the land’s traditional owners. We would like to thank our generous donors, including those who chose to remain anonymous.
The new design includes The People's Walk, where families can have their name or that of a loved one etched into a bluestone paver near the entrance.

Thank you
