Attraction - Aboriginal NSW, Natural, Park and Garden
The Botanic Gardens, which received National Heritage status in 1994 contain a large variety of native plants from all parts of Australia.
Booderee National Park and Booderee Botanic Gardens are the names chosen by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community for the former Commonwealth Jervis Bay National Park and Jervis Bay Botanic Gardens.
Booderee is an Aboriginal word from the Dhurga language meaning 'bay of plenty' or 'plenty of fish'.
The White-bellied Sea Eagle is one of the many birds you can see around the park. This large white and grey eagle is the guardian of the Aboriginal people of Wreck Bay, and is represented in the park logo.
The National Park and Botanic Gardens were handed back to the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community in 1995. The Community and the Australian Government, through the Director of National Parks, now jointly manage the Park and the Botanic Gardens.
Picnic sites are placed throughout the gardens. Seats, tables, picnic shelter and electric barbecues are available.
