Why it's worth checking out

The Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden sits on Palm Creek Road at Tanawha, in the leafy hinterland behind Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. A beautiful bushland botanic garden, it showcases the native flora of the region across landscaped gardens, rainforest and natural bushland — a peaceful, scenic escape close to the coast.

The appeal is that combination of immersive native plantings, walking trails, wetlands and lovely natural surrounds, offering a tranquil retreat for a stroll, a picnic or simply appreciating the region's botanical diversity. With its rainforest gully, native gardens and birdlife, it's a wonderful spot for nature lovers and families, and entry is typically free.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The gardens are open and generally free to enter, but opening hours, facilities, guided walks and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you visit — and taking water and sun protection, while allowing time to wander the trails and enjoy the bushland surrounds.
