In 1984, Council commenced reconstruction of the Gardens with the assistance of Commonwealth Employment Funding. The original gardens area has been cleared, stonework rebuilt and trees removed.
A walking track has been cleared to Finch Bay along the old dray track. A walking track continues from this track to Cherry Tree Bay.
The Gardens now feature an exotic plant section, a "palmetum", a section of native plants and a Solander's Gardens. For a history of the gardens click here.
