City Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Brisbane, Australia
The City Botanic Gardens extends over 49 acres along the Brisbane River, featuring ornamental ponds, bamboo groves, and fig tree avenues.
The gardens began as a farm for the Moreton Bay penal settlement in 1825 before its transformation into a botanical reserve in 1855.
The Riverstage amphitheater within the gardens serves as a central venue for concerts, exhibitions, and community festivals throughout the year.
Free guided walks operate Monday through Saturday, with nine outdoor areas available for reservations and special events.
The gardens housed the first cultivated Macadamia nut tree in the world, planted by curator Walter Hill in 1858.
