Araluen Botanic Park

#perthonbudget
Cultural & Botanical Discovery via Self-Guided Exploration 🗺️
Review: Araluen is a heritage treasure, and for a deep-dive #perthonbudget activity, simply dedicate your time to a self-guided exploration of its historical and botanical features. The park’s structure, with its terraced lawns and the original Chalet Healy, dates back to the 1930s, offering a great sense of history. Look up the key points of interest online before you go (like the Grove of the Unforgotten) to save money on a paid tour. The plant collection itself, particularly the internationally-acclaimed Camellias and the Heritage Rose Garden, provides hours of free fascination. Download a map and treat the day like a free scavenger hunt to find all the different themed garden sections—it makes the entry fee feel like a bargain for a full day's worth of exploration.
