Summary

Side view of the exterior of Adelaide's Bicentennial Conservatory in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide. Built to celebrate Australia's bicentennial in 1988, it was designed by Adelaide architect Guy Maron. At 100 metres in length and 27 metres high, this building is the largest single span conservatory in the southern hemisphere. The conservatory houses lowland tropical rainforest plants, many of which are at risk or endangered in their natural habitats in northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and southern Pacific Islands.
