Botanical Garden olive Pink, specializing in the plants of the desert zone of Australia, spread over an area of 16 hectares in Alice springs. The garden was created in 1956 as a Reserve of the plants of the Desert Region of Australia in the years anthropologist and fighter for the rights of aborigines miss olive Muriel Pink, who became the first curator of the garden.

The Botanical garden is part of the impressive grounds of the Royal Land, stretching to the East of the Todd river to the southern boundary of the Central business district of Alice springs. Until 1956 this earth was no-man. Here were grazing wild goats, rabbits and cattle, which significantly changed the nature of vegetation – when miss Pink took over these places, there were neither trees nor shrubs.

For two decades, miss Pink and her assistants from among the indigenous inhabitants struggled with dry natural conditions and an almost complete lack of funding. Together, they planted trees and shrubs common to Central Australia, as well as cacti, garden flowers and other plants that can withstand the extreme summer temperatures.

After the death of miss Pink in 1975, the reserve came under the control of the state government's Northern Territory, which decided to continue the work of enthusiast. On the territory of the garden was laid a network of pedestrian trails, built a visitor centre, river planted eucalypts, acacia and other trees. Here was arranged well and recreates the ecosystem of the sand dunes.

In 1985, the garden, named after its founder, was opened to the public. Ten years later he was listed as a National Heritage of Australia.
