Royal Botanic Gardens is a Botanical garden near the centre of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on the south bank of the Yarra River. It constitutes 354,000 square metres (87 acres) of landscaped gardens. There is a 3.8 km running track parallel to the perimeter fence of the gardens. Officially termed "the Tan Track", it is affectionately known as "The 'Tan" and is often used by Australian rules footballers, particularly during pre-season time trials. The 'Tan', originally a horse track for Melbourne's well-heeled, is one of Melbourne's most frequented points for exercise. Locals, visitors and famous alike, now share the space as it's international reputation has grown. Hitcham El Guerrouj, Steve Ovett, Cathy Freeman, and Sonia O'Sullivan have all rubbed shoulders with mortals on the Tan. The quickest lap of the Tan has been held by such notable Australian athletes as: Robert De Castella and Steve Monaghetti (10:41, 2003). The current record is 10 minutes and 12 seconds, run by Craig Mottram in 2004.

The inaugral "Go the Tan" run was held in early February 2006, and provides the opporunity for participants to run, jog or walk around the Tan and receive an official time. The gardens are governed under the Royal Botanic Gardens Act of 1991 by the Board of the Royal Botanic Gardens, who are responsible to the Minister for Environment. In 1846 Charles La Trobe selected the site for the Royal Botanic Gardens from marshland and swamp. In 1857 the first director was Ferdinand von Mueller, who created the National Herbarium of Victoria and brought in many plants. In 1873 William Guilfoyle became Director and changed the style of the Gardens to something more like the picturesque gardens that were around at that time. He added tropical and temperate plants. A major project at the Botanic Gardens over the past three years has been the building of the 5,000 square metre Ian Potter Children's Garden for children of all ages and abilities. The Ian Potter Children's Garden is based in South Yarra, off the main site. Living collections at the Botanic Gardens include Australian Rainforest Walk, California Gardens, Cacti and Succulents, Camelias, Cycad Collection, Eucalypts, Fern Gully, Grey Garden, Herb Garden, Long Island, New Caledonia Collection, New Zealand Collection, Oaks, Perennial Border, Roses, Southern Chinese Collection, Tropical Display-Glasshouse, Viburnum Collection and Water Conservation Garden. These plant groups have been chosen for their value, rarity, diversity and interest. Since its earliest days, the Royal Botanic Gardens is involved in plant research and identification. This is done primarily through the Library, the Herbarium and the release of publications about specific plants as well as the journal Mulleria, which is a scientific representation of the work done in the Gardens in any one year.
