Friends
of Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens
The Friends welcome you to our website.
For over twenty years, the Friends have worked in tremendous co-operation with our local councils to share the achievement of a beautiful bushland botanic garden on the Sunshine Coast.
Come and visit the garden;
we are sure you will love it,
just as we do.

...gardens
offer us something
beyond the
material world.
They provide a
spiritual component
allowing us

in the wonder and
mystery of creation.

Do you know where this waterfall is in the gardens?
It's just below the middle creek crossing on the Upland Bush Walk. Unfortunately, it only looks like this for a day or so after heavy rain. ​Perhaps the question should have been "when?" not "where?"! ​
