Green garden among the grey

Jul 2020

Stirling Gardens is at the intersection of St George's Terrace and Barrack Street, to the west of Government House. It's probably the best-known corner in Perth. Stirling Gardens contains a number of monuments; the most impresssive is the statue of Alexander Forrest (1849-1901). With his brother (Lord) John Forest he explored much of Western Australia's remote regions, in particular the Kimberley in the State's Far North. He was a member of the WA Parliament and twice Lord Mayor of Perth. As Perth has grown, its history has often been overwhelmed by office towers. This park is a piece of Peth that has been preserved.

Lovely Central Park

Jul 2023 • Friends

We often find ourselves here in these quiet leafy gardens right in the heart of the city close to Elizabeth Quay.
Our route into the city from our jotel brought us right past here every day and we often walked in to relax and enjoy the peace.
Perth has lovely city parks, this is one of them.

Gardens & Sculptures

Apr 2021

Located adjacent the Supreme Court Gardens, these gardens date to 1830 when botanist James Drummond used the area to propagate seed specimens. It was declared a botanical garden in 1845. Also a lovely area, well maintained, great flora specimens, the majestic Moreton Bay Fig, water features and the sculptures.

The oldest gardens in Perth and a beautiful, quiet corner of the city. Contains a number of notable statues.

Mar 2023 • Couples

These gardens, located on the corner of busy St George's Terrace and Barrack Street, were named after Sir James Stirling who was the first Governor of Western Australia.

The gardens were first used in the 1830's by colonial botanists as an acclimatisation garden to raise plant specimens from seeds. The gardens became Perth's first botanical garden in 1845.

Nowadays there is a large grassed area with plenty of seating, a magnificent Moreton Bay Fig, a range of beautiful plants and flowers, a water feature and a number of sculptures including those of kangaroos. A great place to stop and rest for a while.

His party, taking five months, travelled oveland from Perth to Adelaide. His greatest achievemt, among many, was to open the Kimberley to setrtlment. He was later Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) and Member of the Legislative Assembley (MLA) for the Kimberley in the Parliament of Western Australia. He was also Lord Mayor of Perth on two occasions. Alexaner Forrest's statue is at the corner of St Georges Tce and Barrack St, near the entrance to Stirling Gardens Famously, he is shown holding a sextant, which is on occasion stolen and replaced wih a bottle of beer, a sorry fate for a giant among men.

A lovely little garden.

Sept 2019

There's nothing like a small piece of green in the midst of tall buildings in the city.
This is a quiet little garden with some flowers, a small pond and it serves as a picnic spot for locals.
