Queens Gardens, Brisbane

Queens Gardens, Brisbane

Queens Gardens is located on a city block between George Street, Elizabeth Street and William Street, Brisbane. On the opposide side of William Street is the old State Library of Queensland - and on the opposite side of Elizabeth Street is the former Treasury Building (now Conrad Treasury Casino).

Queens Gardens was established in its present form in 1963, after the buildings which had occupied the area had been demolished. Queens Gardens was named in honour of Queen Victoria, and a statue of Queen Victoria was unveiled in 1906 in the gardens in front of the Lands Administration Building, Brisbane.

Also in the gardens is a statue of T. J. Ryan, Premier of Queensland (1915 - 1919), and a Royal Australian Air Force memorial.
