The Story Behind the Park

Araluen’s roots stretch back to the 1920s, when J.J. “Boss” Simons, founder of the Young Australia League, dreamed of creating a retreat where young people could connect with nature.

Today, the Araluen Botanic Park Foundation continues to honour that legacy with every flower planted and every path restored.
