Visit to National Arboretum of Canberra Australia
The National Arboretum Canberra is a 250-hectare (618 acre) arboretum in Canberra, the national capital of Australia, created after the area was burned out as a result of the Christmas 2001 and 2003 Canberra bushfires: The Himalayan Cedar forest lost about one third of its trees, and the commercial Radiata Pine plantation was burned out, allowing the arboretum to be created.
In 2004, the Government of the Australian Capital Territory held a nation-wide competition for an arboretum, which was to be part of the recovery from the 2003 bushfires. The winning design by landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean and architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer proposed 100 forests and 100 gardens focussing on threatened, rare, and symbolic trees from around the world.
The site has been planted since 2005, and includes ceremonial trees planted by visiting heads of government and ambassadors. It was officially opened in February 2013.
he established areas include existing forests of Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deodara) and cork oak (Quercus suber)[ planted under the guidance of early town planners under general direction from the city's planner,Walter Burley Griffin. The arboretum is generally in keeping with Griffin's plan for such an arboretum, as expressed by the earlier forests.
A forest of Turkish Pine Pinus brutia, a species native to the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, has been planted to commemorate Australian service personnel killed in all conflicts. In addition, a number of ceremonial Aleppo Pines (Pinus halepensis) have been planted on the summit of Dairy Farmers Hill, propagated from seed of the Lone Pine tree planted at the Australian War Memorial.] These complement a number of mature specimens of this species already existing on the hill.
The National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia, currently in Commonwealth Park, has been relocated to the arboretum.
Notable plantings include:
California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera)
Chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense)
Western old white gum (Eucalyptus argophloia)
Yoshino cherry (Prunus x yedoensis)
Dragon tree (Dracaena draco) – famously, 12 were stolen, of which some were recovered[8][9]
Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba)
Judas tree (Cercis siliquastrum)
Giant redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum)
Camden white gum (Eucalyptus benthamii)
Chinese rubber tree (Eucommia ulmoides)
Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)
Monkey puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana)

These are just a few of the beautiful bonsai we viewed in the National Bonsai and Penjing collection of Australia.
Situated at the National Arboretum in Canberra, this collection – the best bonsai exhibition in Australia – has trees from almost every country represented, including Chinese elm, cedar, maple, Australian banksia, angophora and paperbark.
Australian natives make up about 20% of the exhibition.
This amazing exhibition, which is carefully tended by enthusiastic and very knowledgeable volunteers, usually has about 80 bonsai on display.

The National Arboretum in Canberra - Family Travel in Australia
We had a great time visiting Canberra and the National Arboretum was one of our favourite spots.
Meaning 'place of trees' in Latin - the Arboretum in Canberra is a 250 hectare space of forests, bush walks, nature trails, play areas, botanical displays and more.
There is also an amazing nature based playpark - the Pod Playground.
It was created on the area burned out by huge bushfires in the early 2000s.
