Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens
Preliminary planning of the garden began in 1961. The gardens were established in 1969 and occupied 8.9 hectares.
The camellia garden was established as a bicentennial project in 1988, along with several other northernly situated themed garden projects including the Cacti and Succulent Garden, an Elizabethan themed garden funded by the Shakespearian Society of Wagga Wagga and the Tree Chapel, a fully functional outdoor church that is a popular venue for weddings. Located in the camelia garden is a magnificently decorated traditional Chinese pavilion, a bicentennial gift from Kunming, China, one of Wagga Wagga's sister cities.
The Museum of the Riverina is situated next to the Botanic Gardens on Lord Baden Powell Drive
