News & Events
Team Menziesii
BANKSIA COURT, this specialised banksia arboretum was established in 1995 to mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of the University. It holds a vibrant diversity of banksias and is a rich food source for honeyeaters and black cockatoos, while the dense undergrowth provides vital habitat for ‘Conservation Dependent’ Southern Brown Bandicoots (Quendas), native lizards and invertebrates. Murdoch’s Banksia Court is the only other dedicated Banksia Garden in WA apart from the one in King’s Park. Banksia Court is now an important part of Murdoch University’s heritage and it is also a valuable educational and recreational asset.
