Wendy's Secret Garden


When Wendy Whiteley lost her husband, Australian artist Brett Whiteley in 1992, she funnelled her love and grief into transforming a disused, derelict train yard space Wendy’s Secret Garden. It has been nurtured by Whiteley and two gardeners over the past 25 years. They’ve planted natives, exotics, plants and herbs and landscaped the space with winding paths supported by raw bush timber balustrades, benches to sit on and cobbled stairs, retaining walls and paths.

Alongside the natural beauty of the plants and trees, you’ll also find bronze busts, engraved stone tablets, wooden carvings and other sculptures dotted around the garden. 
The garden also has a fantastic view of the Harbour Bridge.
