    The most exquisitely planned garden with abundant trees that is open to the public is the "Forest Glade" garden. The garden covers an area of 14.5 acres (approximately 145000 square meters) and is the largest private garden in Australia. This garden has been planned and built by the Newton family since 1941, making it the most beautiful garden. This nearly century old private garden covers an area of 14 acres and is divided into four parts: an English garden, a Japanese garden, a forest, and a fern valley. There are various exquisite European sculptures scattered throughout the park, and the landscape layout is exquisite and delicate.
