Preserving, Learning, Exploring
Established by the late David Gordon, Myall Park Botanic Garden is a place where conservation, education, and appreciation for Australia’s natural heritage come together.
The park is more than just a beautiful retreat—it’s a vital and historic conservation site protecting Australia’s rich biodiversity. Nestled off the beaten track near Glenmorgan, the reserve serves as a living archive of native plant species, a refuge for wildlife, and an outdoor classroom for nature enthusiasts of all ages. With various accommodation options available, from camping and glamping, to cozy rooms in our historic cottages, visitors are sure to lengthen their stay.
Visitors can explore bushland trails, discover rare botanical specimens, admire roaming reptiles, mammals and birds, and immerse themselves in the history woven into the landscape. From stunning native flower displays to star-filled night skies by the fire, Myall Park offers a truly unique experience for nature lovers, researchers, and families alike.

130 Hectares of Natural Beauty
Established by amateur botanist David Gordon AM in the 1940’s on a ridge behind his home, Myall Park Botanic Garden covers an area of 130 hectares, containing many plants that are now extremely rare and sometimes extinct in their natural environment.
Most of the park’s accommodation, including the campsites and cottages, is situated in one area, preserving the rest as a natural reserve. Well-maintained trails and car access make it easy to explore the diverse offerings, including scenic bushland trails, the lagoon, and the bird hive.
Our History
