Winter
Peanut Butter Tree
Take a wander to the rare fruit orchard and sample the ripe orange red fruit of the peanut butter tree Bunchosia glandulifera. The sweet flesh has a taste and texture similar to peanut butter.
Roses
Enjoy the scented blooms of the roses in the Hinkler Garden near the Café.
Ylang Ylang
Highly prized for its perfume extracted from its leaves this stunning specimen near the train station is covered in clusters of dark fruit.
Plumed Ducks
Plumed ducks, Dendrocygna eytoni are gathering in large groups and can be seen on the banks of the lakes. These highly social birds vocalise regularly with a ‘whistling’ sound giving them their other common name Whistling duck. Enjoy these birds from a distance as they can become stressed quite easily.
