23.01.2022 Mt Penang Gardens are closed on Monday while the walkways receive some much-needed repairs. We'll see you back on Tuesday 18 August!

22.01.2022 Spring has well and truly sprung, and Mt Penang Gardens are in bloom! We're open every day, so bring the family to enjoy the sites - and smells - these school holidays.

22.01.2022 While we connect to a newly installed water service, Mt Penang will be without a water supply for two hours from 3.30pm this Monday. This includes our taps and public toilets, so if you're visiting during this time, please plan accordingly

20.01.2022 WORKS UPDATE The next stage of road, sewer and water upgrades is about to get underway across the Mount Penang precinct. Disruptions will be minimal but there will be changed traffic conditions in the coming weeks. We'll share updates here, so watch this space for more information.

20.01.2022 GARDEN PROFILE Our rock garden showcases a variety of native and exotic plants, with spring the perfect time to check out brilliant foliage and colourful blooms!. You'll find the rock garden on the western edge of the gardens.

17.01.2022 The resurfacing of some of our footpaths and car parks is now complete. Not a pothole in site!

13.01.2022 With spring-like weather forecast for tomorrow, it's the perfect time to take a stroll through our 12 unique garden rooms. There's space to breathe and relax at Mt Penang, not to mention clean BBQ facilities and great coffee at the Waterfall Cafe.

12.01.2022 Meet Dianne. After retiring in 2012, she became a Mt Penang Bluethumb volunteer, hoping for a change of scenery after years of working indoors. "I became a Bluethumb volunteer because it allowed me to work outside. I met lots of other volunteers and we all enjoy helping out where we are needed. Our role can vary from pulling weeds to taking tours of various sections of the park to assisting with outdoor functions. We have a beautiful garden, free to the public, just on our do...orstep. It's a wonderful place for a stroll full of interesting side gardens and surprises around every corner. The Wondabyne Sculpture park is an interesting place to start conversations like ‘what do you think that is?’ The waterfall cafe is also a nice place to catch up with family and friends."

12.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY Carpentry training at Gosford Farm Home for Boys in Mount Penang (1913 - 1923). In addition to working in the farm, the dairy and the orchard, boys received training in boot making, tailoring and carpentry.

11.01.2022 We have some touch-up repairs on our garden paths tomorrow morning, so the gardens won't be open until 11am. We'll see you for lunch!

08.01.2022 GARDEN PROFILE The young and young-at-heart are welcome to play on the mini mountain range of our 'Misty Mountains' lawn. You'll find it just across the bridge in the heart of the gardens!

02.01.2022 Water main works along the western edge of Mount Penang are now underway and will continue for the next week. While we expect minimal disruption, the commuter car park on the corner of Kangoo Road and Central Coast Highway will temporarily lose several spaces during works. Traffic controls will be in place and we ask that you take care in the changed conditions. If you have any questions of problems, please call Bolte Civil on 4351 1512.
