I must admit I was blown away by the Roma St Parklands. Right in the heart of Brisbane, the extensive gardens were developed on the site of the old central railway goods yard. It was opened to the Public in 2001 and incorporated Albert Park, a much older reserve on the steep slopes of Spring Hill.

I can see why you were blown away. Looks like the kind of spot my camera would love. :-) Sorry about Mr. Linky. It has been updated and I re-entered your link for you.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Mark. We are so lucky in Australia to have such wonderful public gardens that are well looked after.
ReplyDeleteYour captures blew me away, I can just imagine what seeing this for real would do! Absolutely gorgeous! The colors and variety are superb! Have a great week!

These gardens are so beautifully designed and then well-maintained! Both the green worlds of the first photo and colours of the second are enchanting!
ReplyDeleteNice place to walk if you live in town.

Wow, that first shot is so typically tropical. I remember being wowed by foliage in Brisbane, whch was the first place outside of Europe I ever visited. I'll get back there one day...
ReplyDeleteI haven't had time to walk around here ... must schedule it in next time I am in Brissie. Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful Mark. No wonder you were just about blown away! Would love to have a place like that to walk through. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured.!
ReplyDeleteWatery Post Come see it when you get a chance. Thanks!
I love walking through gardens like this. I love the Australian bush, too. But also beds and beds of flowering annuals, all brushed up and looking in their prime.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is where I love to spend my day.
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful! I have a blog friend who often posts great photos of flowers and ducks in this parkland.
