Queens Park, Moonee Ponds, Public garden with lake and historic cottage in Moonee Ponds, Australia.
Queens Park features established native and exotic trees surrounding a central lake with walking paths and multiple themed gardens throughout the grounds.
In 1860, explorers Burke and Wills made their first camp at this location during their expedition to cross the Australian continent.
The park serves as a central gathering space for community events, including weekend concerts and the annual Carols by Candlelight celebration.
The park includes a swimming pool complex with three pools, operating from November through March, and maintains wheelchair-accessible paths around the lake.
Baron Ferdinand Von Mueller contributed 250 plant specimens to the park in 1865, establishing its foundation as a botanical collection.
