Royal Park, Urban park in Parkville, Melbourne, Australia
Royal Park extends across 188 hectares of land, featuring natural woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands that support local wildlife populations.
The park land, set aside by Governor Charles La Trobe in 1850, served as the starting point for Burke and Wills expedition across Australia.
