Discover the Sydney Gardens Tree Trail
The Friends of Sydney Gardens purchased and installed 15 tree labels with QR codes for the Sydney Gardens Tree Trail. You can download the Tree Trail and map or simply scan the QR code on each tree as you walk through Sydney Gardens.

If you would like to help, you can report incidents of rough sleeping on the StreetLink website and they will assist by connecting the homeless to local services.
