Mosaic Monday ... At The Parklands.

I was lucky enough just recently to be able to visit the Roma Street Parklands down in our capital city.  This fabulous parkland area is located right in the centre of the city, but when you're there you feel like you're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life. 




I've only highlighted a few corners of this vast parkland, primarily the water features along the parkland creek and lake, and the garden known as 'The Spectacle Garden'.  There's so much more to this special place.  It's a must see whenever you have the opportunity to visit Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.

I'm joining Mary at Little Red House for her Mosaic Monday meme.  Make sure you pop on over there to see loads of fabulous mosaic creations from people all around the world.

  2. Love those floating flower islands, and the "bromeliad tower" How marvelous to be able to wander through such a lovely area just a few steps away from the city.

    1. Morning Africanaussie. Those floating flower islands and re-cycled truck tyres filled with New Guinea Impatiens. Don't they look fantastic! The Bromeliad towers are smack bang in the middle of a fantastic Bromeliad Garden. I'll be sharing more photos of that on Friday. It's such a great corner of the Parklands.

    1. Thanks Black Eyes Susan, I think we take what we have a little too much for granted.

    1. Carol, it's amazing just how peaceful and quiet it is at the Parklands despite being smack bang in the middle of a large bustling city.

  7. It looks like a spectacular garden. You could get lost for days wandering among its beauties. I particularly liked that huge stand of gomphrena from the last post - wow!!

  11. Bernie,

    This looks wonderful, must be quite a job to keep it so lush and green in the hot summer season.
