Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden
We’re an amazing destination created by Tasmanians who were passionate about conserving rhododendrons for future generations. Our Garden is beautifully landscaped and includes paved walkways through themed areas, and three picturesque lakes which are home to our 5 resident platypuses. In summer months, you’ll be treated to seeing echidnas wandering our garden in search of their next tasty meal, or be serenaded by the local birdlife.
