The Queenstown Gardens peninsula is defined by a heavy iron gate and rows of Douglas firs planted in eighteen sixty-seven. These trees were brought in by early settlers who wanted to recreate a European landscape in the middle of a rugged gold mining district. While the town boomed with mining claims and dusty streets, the local council set this land aside for public recreation. It remains a quiet canopy of exotic trees and manicured rose beds today.
