The Lodge Gardens Open Day
I am pleased to invite visitors to The Lodge Gardens on the morning of Saturday 7 October.
Located in Deakin, Canberra, The Lodge has been an official residence for the Prime Minister of Australia since its completion in 1927.
Over the years it has served as a home for families, hosted international delegations and is an historical landmark in Australia’s political history.
The gardens feature Yellow Box eucalyptus predating The Lodge, a Tulip Tree planted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1982 and an Alba Rose kindly gifted by a member of the public in 2022.
The Lodge grounds and gardens will be open from 9am to 12pm, with visitors welcome to enjoy the surrounds.
Quotes attributable to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese:
“Canberra is a terrific place to live and calling The Lodge home is a true honour.
“I’m thrilled Canberrans will get the chance to explore and enjoy the beautiful gardens this weekend.”
