The corpse flower has started to close, and things are starting to wind down.

We'll be closing at midnight tonight, with the last chance to join the line at 10:00pm, then re-opening tomorrow from 9:00am - 7:00pm.

It's starting to open!

The process of the corpse plant opening has begun, and we anticipate blooming in around four hours.

For those unable to make it to the Gardens, we have set up a live stream at 👉

The corpse flower at the Geelong Botanic Gardens will soon bloom!

Like its name, the corpse flower smells like a rotting corpse when it blooms.

This rare event only happens every ten years and lasts 24–48 hours.

It’s expected to bloom between 5–10 November.

Sunset at Eastern Beach 🌅

With the days getting longer, we love the colourful late evening sunsets at Eastern Beach like this one captured by @ammysekhon85 (on Instagram).

As a result of surface works, the half courts at Aldershot Reserve, St Albans and Evans Reserve, Norlane will be temporarily closed for a week from Monday 28 October.

We appreciate your understanding as these works are completed.
