Yes I totally agree Delonix - I don't know how they've managed to keep this fabulous area of the parklands so beautiful under the very tight water restrictions. I have a feeling that they must use their own water source.

If they don't use gray (reclaimed water)...then they must have well water.

It is also so very well manicured!

It's a great spot - only opened in 2001. Before that, this was the site for railway yards! This was my first visit and I was blown away! There is such a variety of plants and areas within this parkland - it's a very popular place now.

It's amazing that this beautiful garden used to be railway yards.

Shapla - it is a definite must-see place. I never visited this beautiful parkland when I lived in Brisbane many years ago, but my sons are living there now and I made the effort to see it - I've been back 4 times since!!!

Delonix - it is amazing to think this area was covered with railway sheds and tracks. This was a huge railway goods yard adjacent to the massive Roma Street railway terminal (which is still there) - and when it fell into disuse the council decided to make it parkland. I did put lots of photos of the various flowers into a blog - but still had so many photos left.

It is amazing! I'm so glad you shared all the photos of this garden with us GoY members. It makes me want to go to Australia more than ever.
