Situated on the fringes of the city center, these 150-year-old-plus gardens feature gorgeous indigenous specimens, such as flame trees, Moreton Bay figs and spotted gums. Visitors can also spy a number of curiosities, like explorer Captain James Cook’s cottage (shipped over from England in 1934) and the Fairies Tree, the stump of a 300-year-old red gum in which whimsical pictures are carved.
