Girraween Gardens is a private garden and tea rooms at Triabunna on Tasmania’s east coast. Triabunna is a scenic port town, 88 kilometres/55 miles north east of Hobart. You can visit Girraween to stroll through a hectare (2.5 acres) of beautifully designed gardens. Absorb the heady fragrance of the rose garden, enjoy the massed colour of beds of agapanthus and day lillies, sit by the lily pond or enjoy the beauty of thousands of other flowering plants and shrubs. After strolling through the grounds, you can enjoy a drink and tasty snack in the tea rooms. Girraween Gardens are located in central Triabunna, and are open every day except Christmas Day and Good Friday. Australia’s first rural municipality, Triabunna was established in the 1820s as a whaling station and garrison town servicing the Maria Island penal colony. Triabunna is an Aboriginal word meaning native hen – a fast-running, flightless bird found only in Tasmania. Many of these birds – which can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometres/31 miles an hour - can be seen foraging near streams and pastureland in the area |
