Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden

The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden is a 250-hectare botanic garden on the Stuart Highway at Port Augusta West, South Australia, overlooking Spencer Gulf at the gateway to the outback. Established to showcase and conserve flora of Australia's low-rainfall arid zone, it displays plants from across the continent. Notable for its extensive Eremophila collection, themed interpretive trails, and coastal views, it functions as a conservation, research and education centre.

Visitors can expect a large arid-zone landscape with sandy and rocky trails winding through curated plantings of eremophilas, eremophila, acacias, and other arid-adapted species from South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The garden includes a visitor centre with interpretive displays, a cafe and gift shop, boardwalks, lookout points over Spencer Gulf and the Flinders Ranges, bird hides, and the Eremophila Garden. The setting is open, dry and exposed with panoramic views.
