A special feature of the ornamental rock garden is a stone labyrinth called 'Araluen', a word in the Woiwurrung language meaning 'place of water.'
A female elder of one of the Wurundjeri peoples visited the garden and wrote this: 'This place - ARALUEN - has been held in safekeeping by the Spirit Keepers of the Wurundjeri nations. It holds secret knowledge and the sacred energy of our people and their healers. It is a place of great significance to Indigenous culture and should be honoured by all those who enter the space.
'We, the Spirit Keepers, recognise this ancient healing spiral, which comes from the stars, and allow it its place at the centre of our healing lines. Walk it with connection to the land below and the sky above and with patience in your hearts.'
The labyrinth offers a place of tranquillity, peace and healing, and a quiet walk to finish your visit.
