Queens Gardens, Perth

The site of Queen's Gardens was initially part of the commonage that was used for recreation purposes including horse racing and later as a clay pit and brickworks.

Bricks were produced from the site between 1860 and 1890 and featured in many of Perth's prominent buildings constructed at that time, including the Town Hall, The Cloisters and The Barracks.

The reproduction was produced by the sculptor of the original statue, Sir George Frampton, and autographed by the creator of Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie.

The park includes a bench that is a replica of the seat in the 1999 film Notting Hill, donated to the City of Perth by a resident known only as Rodd.

[5] It has the inscription: For June who loved this gardenFrom Joseph who always sat beside her[6]Until 2019, it was believed to be the original bench from the film,[6][7] and included a plaque to that effect.
