The garden at Gallery on Track in Goulburn, NSW, stands as a testament to the dedication of its volunteers, who transformed a neglected patch of land into a flourishing oasis. Initially part of the historic Railway Barracks, the area was little more than an overlooked space when the gallery took root. With a vision to complement the creative energy inside, volunteers set to work, clearing debris, leveling ground, and envisioning a space that would invite relaxation and inspiration.
Their efforts were hands-on and heartfelt—digging soil, planting native flowers, and incorporating unique elements like a mosaic pathway crafted from unearthed railway metal. This labor of love unfolded over countless hours, with volunteers tending to seedlings, nurturing growth through changing seasons, and ensuring the garden reflected the gallery’s artistic spirit. They chose plants to attract local wildlife, fostering biodiversity, and shaped the layout to offer a peaceful retreat for visitors.
Today, the garden blooms with color and life, a vibrant extension of Gallery on Track’s mission. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, it’s a living artwork, sustained by the same community passion that built it from nothing into a beautiful sanctuary.
