Meet some of the local fauna that call the Royal Botanic Garden home

Join our volunteer guides as we venture along winding paths, under high canopies, through fields, along a creek and beside ponds to see what wildlife is at home.

Apart from our ever present and captivating birds, we're likely to encounter eastern water dragons, blue-tongue lizards, the colourful koi carp and maybe even eels and a turtle. A close-up encounter with the impressive golden orb-weaving spider in her web, is always memorable, as is meeting up with our native social bees at their hive log. Solitary bees such as the beautiful blue-banded bee and the funky teddy bear bee may be out and about. And we're sure to be welcomed by the southern earl-white butterfly as it breeds here, its most southern colony.

The tour concludes with a delightful morning tea on the Foundation & Friends’ Terrace.
