Explore Victoria’s ancient landscapes and learn about creatures that once walked this land, from dinosaurs and megafauna to the ancestors of today’s iconic Australian species.

The Gandel Gondwana garden is an outdoor gallery where you can step into the ecosystems of the past. Touch replicas of the bones, teeth and claws of ancient creatures.

Experience First peoples' knowledge passed through thousands of generations, and uncover traces of Gondwana, the supercontinent that once connected Australia to the world.

Gandel Gondwana garden is a living gallery, so it will change with the seasons and grow over time. Today its plants are still young, but even the towering trees in the Forest Gallery were once tiny seedlings.
