The Queensland Heritage Register describes the historical importance of Brisbane's City Botanic 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."
Join us on this special guided walk as we take you on a journey through nearly two hundred years of history, from the convict settlement days to the green inner-city oasis you see here today and learn of the significant contribution the Botanic Gardens have had to the development of Queensland.
