Highlights of the bushland
 | Highlights of the bushlandThe Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is the ancestral home of the Mayone-Bulluk clan of the Boonerwurung people. From as long ago as the 1820s some sections of the site were extensively sand mined. From 1889 until the 1960s the site was used by the military with licences also issued for sand extraction, grazing and timber felling. The Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne was established in 1970, for the purpose of the conservation, research, display and enjoyment of Australian native plants. The Gardens first opened to the public in 1989. |
