Brisbane, Queensland, Australia : Brisbane was established when Sydney and the colony of New South Wales needed a better place to store their more recalcitrant convicts. The tropical country further north seemed a good place to put them and, in 1824, a penal settlement was established at Redcliffe Point on Moreton Bay. This location was soon abandoned in favour of the riverside site to the south where Brisbane's business district now stands. The penal settlement was abandoned in 1839 and the area was thrown open to free settlers in 1842. As Queensland's huge agricultural and mineral resources were developed, Brisbane grew into a prosperous city, and in 1859 the state of Queensland separated from the colony of NSW. Brisbane was declared its capital. Copyright for these photos belongs to Lesley Bray.

Botanical Gardens, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia : The area was first selected as the Government Garden in 1828 when Charles Fraser, the Curator of Sydney's Botanic Gardens, Allan Cunningham, the King's botanist, and the penal colony's Superintendent, Captain Logan, visited the intended site. They marked out the boundaries and convicts were set to clear the area. At first, it was used to grow vegetables to feed the expanding colony. With the discontinuation of convict transport, the area was still used unofficially to grow vegetables and the land remained in Crown hands. In 1855, the gardens were officially established with Walter Hill, the first Superintendent, appointed. At first they were used mainly as an experimental and educational garden. During Hill's term, a row of bunya pines was planted and these can still be enjoyed today. He also introduced trees such as the Jacaranda, Tamarind, Dragon, Lychee, Macadamia and Mahogany.
