Queen Victoria Gardens
The Alexandra Gardens, Queen
Victoria Gardens and King's Domain run continuously from the banks of the Yarra
along St Kilda Road to the
Shrine and
beyond. They also border the Botanic
Gardens and Government House.
Queen Victoria Gardens
This site was chosen in 1905 for gardens to commemorate
Queen Victoria, and naturally enough
contain a large statue of the monarch as a centrepiece. The gardens also
contain a small artificial lake and waterfall, rose gardens, rockeries and
garden beds as well as impressive landscaped lawns and well established
trees.
