The Queens Gardens in Brisbane occupy the site of the former nineteen-sixties executive building and the original Supreme Court. Before those structures arrived, this patch of land served as a prisoner exercise yard for the early penal colony. In eighteen sixty-two, the government repurposed the grounds, clearing the cells to create a formal garden space. Today, a bronze statue of Queen Victoria stands at the center, watching over the rows of hedges and paved paths that define this quiet city square.
