Starting at the footbridge at the northern end of the car park, the Main Path crosses the Tasmanian Rainforest Gully. The floor of the Gully is dominated by tree-ferns, Dicksonia antarctica, with mature trees of Blackwood, Acacia melanoxylon. The Gully also contains examples of uniquely Tasmanian plants such as Leatherwood, Eucryphia lucida, and the Huon Pine, Lagarostrobos franklinii.
The Path passes Hudsons Cafe and a lawn area where visitors can enjoy jazz concerts in the summer months. On the left is the Ellis Rowan Building, named in honour of the prolific wildflower painter from the early part of this century. The office and lounge of the Friends of the ANBG are located here. Diagonally across the lawn are the two buildings of the Gardens Education Service, specialising in environmental education and horticultural training.
