As you come back into the 14 hectares of developed gardens, you can visit the varying precincts, featuring various exotic plant species that flourish in the cool microclimate of the Roleystone Perth Hills.Araluen flourishes amongst an undulating native backdrop of Eucalyptus, Marri and Blackbutt Trees, with collections of banksias, grass trees and man ferns amongst flowering blooms.
