The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (RTBG), which cover an area of approximately 14 hectares (34.6 acres), in Hobart located within the Queens Domain.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered extensive shell middens and stone artifacts dating back more than 5000 years.

[2] The Gardens hold historic plant collections and a large number of significant trees, many dating back to the nineteenth century.

Prior to European settlement, local Aboriginal tribes used the site, and traces of their occupation are still apparent.

[5] In early 2011 the Gardens played host to Power Plant , a sound and light show that came straight from a sell out season in Hong Kong.
