Parks and gardens

Don't miss Benalla's Botanical Gardens on the shores of the tranquil Lake Benalla. These 19th century gardens feature the stunning Benalla Rose Gardens, rare and mature tree specimens, extensive lawns, ornamental plantings, one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in Australia, a 'Weary' Dunlop Memorial and the iconic rocket playground.

Just outside of Benalla bird watchers will love Winton Wetlands, and walkers will get great views from lookouts in Mount Samaria National Park and Reef Hills State Park.
