Norfolk Island Botanic Garden
A small botanic garden at the foot of Mount Pitt, with boardwalks through rainforest valleys showcasing giant tree ferns and plants found only on the island.
The Norfolk Island Botanic Garden is managed by the national park and displays about 40 plant species endemic to the island. These include the Norfolk Island tree fern, one of the tallest tree ferns in the world, as well as Norfolk Island pines and wild orchids. Boardwalks and loop trails run through the damp rainforest valleys and take about 30–60 minutes to walk. If you're lucky, you may spot the Norfolk Island green parrot. Admission is free. The garden lies about 2 km north of Burnt Pine and pairs well with a visit to Mount Pitt.
