Brisbane City Botanic Gardens

The City Botanic Gardens (formerly the Brisbane Botanic Gardens) is a heritage-listed botanic garden on Alice Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was also known as Queen's Park. It is located at Gardens Point in the Brisbane central business district and is bounded by the Brisbane River, Alice Street, George Street, Parliament House and the Queensland University of Technology's Gardens Point campus. It was established in 1825 as a farm for the Moreton Bay penal settlement. The site includes Brisbane's most mature gardens, with many rare and unusual botanic species. In particular, the gardens feature a special collection of cycads, palms, figs and bamboo. The City Botanic Gardens were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 3 February 1997. The Queensland Heritage Register describes the Gardens as "the most significant, non-Aboriginal cultural landscape in Queensland, having a continuous horticultural history since 1828, without any significant loss of land area or change in use over that time. It remains the premier public park and recreational facility for the capital of Queensland, which role it has performed since the early 1840s."
