Queensland State Rose Garden

Honestly, the rose garden itself is the drawcard here — it’s proper old-school Queensland, the kind of place your grandparents would have brought you on a Sunday. Newtown Park sits right alongside it, so there’s room to spread out after you’ve wandered the beds. It’s a quieter pick than the bigger suburban parks, which suits families who want something a bit more relaxed. Not a lot of flashy equipment, but sometimes that’s exactly the point.
