Context of this Project\ud
\ud
A Conservation Study for the Old Brisbane Botanic Gardens,\ud
formerly called the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, was finalised in\ud
1995 and prepared by Jeannie Sim for the Landscape Section of\ud
Brisbane City Council, the same author of the present report. This\ud
unpublished report was the first conservation plan prepared for the\ud
place and it was recommended that it be reviewed in five years\ud
time. That time has arrived finally with the preparation of the 2005\ud
Review. The present project was commissioned by City Design on\ud
behalf of Environment and Parks Section of Brisbane City Council.\ud
\ud
The author has purposely chosen to call the study site the 'Old\ud
Brisbane Botanic Gardens' (OBBG) to differentiate it from the\ud
Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt. Coot-tha (BBG-MC), and to\ud
maintain the claim for this original garden to remain as a botanic\ud
garden for Brisbane. This name immediately brings to mind an\ud
association with history, as in the precedent set by the naming of\ud
the nearby 'Old Government House' at Gardens Point

Queen's Parks in Queensland
No full textQueen's Park in Maryborough is one of many public gardens established in the nineteenth century in Queensland: in Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Warwick, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Cooktown. They were created primarily as places of horticultural experimentation, as well as for recreational purposes. They formed a local area network, with the Brisbane Botanic Garden and the Government Botanist, Walter Hill, at the centre – at least in the 1870s. From here, the links extended to other botanic gardens in Australia, and beyond Australia to the British colonial network managed through the Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG), Kew. It was an informal network, supplying a knowledge of basic economic botany that founded many tropical agricultural industries and also provided much-needed recreational, educational and inspirational opportunities for colonial newcomers and residents. The story of these parks, from the time when they were first set aside as public reserves by the government surveyors to the present day, is central to the history of urban planning in regional centres. This article provides a statewide overview together with a more in-depth examination of Maryborough's own historic Queen's Park
