Open Garden at The Melbourne Club
 The
walled garden of one of Australia's most famous clubs -
The Melbourne
Club - is rarely open to the public. White Hat strongly recommends you
take this opportunity to take in the environment of an institution which
has been part of Melbourne from its earliest days of European
settlement. White Hat recommends you arrive early or you could find
yourself waiting in lengthy queues.
Listed on the Victorian Heritage Register,
The Walled Garden of
The Melbourne Club is a beautiful and
historically significant walled garden hidden in the heart of the city.
Three massive century-old plane trees maintain a scale in keeping
with the clubhouse buildings. Beneath the trees, plantings bordering the
lawn are predominantly green and white, with a preference for scented
plants and species that perform well in all seasons and tolerate the
shade cast by the trees and surrounding tall buildings.
NOTE: No photographs permitted.

praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
