🏔️ Gardens Point, Brisbane

Gardens Point is the southernmost area of the peninsula that forms the central business district of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located immediately south of Alice Street and is bounded by the Brisbane River on its other three sides. Historically a convict farm that supplied a variety of food crops for the fledgling Moreton Bay penal settlement, Gardens Point would eventually become an experimental botanical reserve, and then gardens and parkland for the citizens of Brisbane. It is also a hub of politics and education, hosting important institutions such as the Parliament of Queensland and the chancellery and inner-city campus of the Queensland University of Technology. Frog's Hollow is a historic neighbourhood which lies immediately to the north of Gardens Point, and consists of the six or so city blocks bounded by Charlotte, Edward, Alice and George streets. It forms the lower part of the Brisbane CBD, which occupies the rest of the peninsula and some adjacent areas.
