ROMA STREET PARKLANDS

After I had a brief recharge session at the hotel I decided to head to Roma St Parklands. My State Manager Dan had told me to go there as it has amazing gardens and flowers in there. Walking towards Roma St Parklands I spotted the Old Windmill on Wickham Terrace. I had previously read about it so I decided to stop to do a photo session here.


"In 1828 convict labour was used to build a windmill near the Brisbane river. More than 170 years later the convicts' handiwork remains as the oldest surviving building in Queensland. "The Old Windmill" was built to grind flour and maize meal for the young penal settlement. It was converted to a signal station in 1861 and used for experimental radio and television broadcasts in the 1920s and 1940s."

Once my photo session was over I finally made it to Roma St Parklands.

Roma St Parklands is a misty rainforest glade, 6 metre high water cascades, garden walkways and rare plants are among the many features of the grand creation that is Brisbane's Roma Street Parkland.

Roma Street Parkland is the world's largest subtropical garden in a city centre which covers 16 hectares.

I'm not kidding while I was there I saw at least 4 brides. I decided to snap up one of them as below:
