Description
One of the highlights of Cooktown, Nature's PowerHouse is an Environment Interpretive Centre located in the historic Botanic Gardens. The Centre offers lots of interesting things to visitors and local people, both young and old.
Designed by the architect Bud Brannigan, it was jointly funded by the Federal and Queensland Governments. The building nestles among huge granite boulders in a lovely bush setting. The building is accessible by an attractive rocky pathway, or a cement ramp designed for wheel chair access and the less mobile.
In the Charles Tanner Gallery one can see exciting exhibitions on the wildlife of Cape York Peninsula which emphasis the environmental importance of this area. The Vera Scarth-Johnson Gallery is home to the superb collection of botanical illustrations by Vera Scarth-Johnson of local flowering plants.
