This spectacular and historic water reservoir has commanding views of the city, and its striking landscape design showcases low-water use plants such as succulents and cacti. Boardwalks and viewing platforms give visitors the opportunity to explore this long-hidden but remarkable feature of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Guilfoyle’s Volcano is in the south-east corner of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, easily accessible via C Gate (enter via Anderson Street) and D Gate (enter via Birdwood Avenue).

Our botanic gardens are so beautiful. We are very lucky to have them so close to the CBD.
