Bush Tucker Garden

Located on the serene banks of Lake Fred Tritton, the Bush Tucker Garden in Richmond presents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural and cultural heritage of the region.

The garden showcases over 80 species of native flora, allowing visitors to learn about their traditional uses by the local Aboriginal people. Bird watchers will enjoy the diverse bird species that call the garden home. The garden also features beautiful natural wonders, such as a waterfall, gravel, stones, and moonrocks. The best time to visit is during the cooler months, from April to September, and the garden is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. To get there, you can take a taxi or car rental from the airport to Richmond, which is about a 5-hour drive west of Townsville. The Bush Tucker Garden offers a peaceful and educational retreat for those who wish to connect with nature and learn more about the traditional culture of the region.
