Now that the northern hemisphere trees are almost bare, its time to turn our attention to all-things Australian!

When is the last time you've been out to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne?

RBG Cranbourne offers a natural bushland experience alongside the Australian Garden - an award winning contemporary botanic garden featuring the plants and ecosystems of southeast Australia.

The bushland includes over 10km of walking tracks, 6km of cycling trails, a lookout tower with views to both bays, picturesque shelters, barbeques and playgrounds.

The Australian Garden, completed in 2012, celebrates the beauty and diversity of Australian landscapes and flora and includes 170,000 plants from 1,700 species. After 10 years of growth, the vistas truly have a huge 'wow' factor!

Best of all, RBG Cranbourne is offering TGA guides a free coach tour valued at $16.00.

Please arrive by 10.45am ready for the free coach tour at 11.00am. This famil is limited to 20 participants.

Afterwards, please join us for lunch onsite at the Boon Wurrung Cafe (at own expense) and the opportunity to network with fellow members. You may then wish to explore the Gardens and bushland at your leisure.

When booking, please indicate if you are:

• travelling by train (RBG Cranbourne offers a free shuttle between Cranbourne Station and the gardens - minimum number and 24hr notice applies) - see https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/cranbourne-gardens/what-s-on-cranbourne/free-daily-shuttle-to-cran/ to book direct for the 9.50am or 10.45am shuttle (we will wait for you)
• booking for the free garden coach tour
• staying for lunch at Boon Wurrung Cafe (so we can book tables)

We look forward to your company in this wonderful setting.
