Magenta Art Prize is a collaborative initiative in support of the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens (AIBG).This community driven art competition focuses on painting and photography and money raised goes to support the AIBG. Both the gardens and the exhibition are great community initiatives drawing cultural tourists from everywhere.
The garden includes preserved, mature mallee, including Eucalyptus dumosa, Eucalyptus oleosa, Eucalyptus socialis, Eucalyptus gracilis, and Eucalyptus viridis, some of which may be as much as 2500 years old. It is also a fantastic bird-watching spot.
