    Roma Street Parklands were built in 2001, so doesnt have that old, dirty look of the rest of the brisbane city centre. Originally the land was used for train yards, which have been transformed into landscaped subtropical gardens. There is an area called fern gully, a nice cool place with giant ferns and artificial mist to shelter from the humid weather, another area with waterfalls and streams and even a lookout. There are also abundant flowers in interesting designs and displays and a good view of the city. There are grassy areas to lie in, especially if you have been on a plane all night and hadnt slept, like I had, but beware the big bullants! A very nice place to visit, considering the park is not that big.

    If you'd like a relaxing activity to do, I would recommend walking around the Roma Street Parkland for an hour or so to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Parkland is actually the largest urban subtropical garden in the world and showcases many of Australia's unique plants that are able to survive in the different climates found on the continent. I enjoyed roaming the meandering path through all the different areas and enjoying all the unique and beautiful plants. There is also a small lake in the middle of Parklands, as well as an amphitheatre, a waterfall/ water feature and a large grassy area that would be perfect for picnicking. We actually saw a wedding entourage at the Parkland taking pictures - the Parkland was definitely a beautiful backdrop for their photos!

  • Address: 1 Parkland Blvd, Brisbane, Queensland
  • Directions: The Parkland is right outside of downtown Brisbane and is adjacent to the Roma Street train station.

    The array of flowers at the gardens is worth its own section. I went there in december, and there was a myriad of flowers planted, sections for flower colours, a section for aromatic plants, it was truly wonderful.
