This area has been designed to demonstrate water on the Australian landscape. The Australia landscape is prone to extended periods of drought and alternating periods of flood. Australian plants have had evolve and adapt to be able to cope and survive the extremes of the Australia environment.

Grass trees now growing in the gardens were saved from destruction as the land on which they were growing was being cleared for a mining project.
