Such an interesting piece of design that is both beautiful and functional. As with all things in the Botanical gardens Guilfoyle's is well thought out, practical and beautifully executed. Accessible from both sides of the garden for all abilities, it's a pleasure to walk up to the top and get an understanding of how it all works and the useful purpose it serves. Once at the top, there's some great views of the city and the rest of the gardens.

Part of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, the Guilfoyle's Volcano is a beautiful area covered in mostly cacti. On top of the "volcano" there is a pond with all kinds of birds. Walking paths are very well maintained and offer access to the top even for wheelchairs. Not very busy so it's easy to take some nice pictures without people around. The area is not that big so be sure you don't miss it when visiting the Gardens.

In one of the most expensive city's in the world to live it's nice to know some things are still free...as Spring is nearly hear do yourself a favour and visit the Botanical Gardens and especially Guilfoyle's Volcano...a wonderful celebration of form, colour and texture with some stunning examples of succulents and cacti...I promise you will not be disappointed

The similiar theme of desert plants carries on from the Arid gardens up to the volcano. There is a smooth track that winds up making it easily accseible for any ill suited for stairs. The volcano itself could be considered a touch underwhelming. There is a pond at the top that has some plants and a few ducks if you are lucky.

A beautifully xeriscaped area full of colorfully contrasting cacti, succulents, and bromeliads shown off at all angles by winding pathways and of course the elevated "volcano" itself, which affords an excellent view of the surrounding city. It's easily my favorite part of the Botanical Gardens.

One of the highlights of royal botanical garden. This place is full of big cactus as well as giant plants. Clicking pictures at or around this place gives clear view of garden surroundings. However persons visiting this place with picture of volcano in mind will be highly disappointed.
