Gardens Point, Brisbane

Gardens Point is the area south of Alice Street at the bend in the Brisbane River.

Gardens Point is an area in central Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located south of Alice Street and north of the Brisbane River, which surrounds it on three sides.^[1]

The Brisbane CBD lies immediately to the north of the point. Gardens Point is almost entirely covered by the City Botanic Gardens, from which its name is derived. Parliament House, Old Government House, River Stage and a campus of Queensland University of Technology are also located here. Mangroves grow on the southern and western banks of the point. The eastern bank along the Botanical Gardens contains a pedestrian promenade.

Gardens Point is connected to South Bank via the Goodwill Bridge, while the Captain Cook Bridge runs along the western bank of the point connecting the City and Kangaroo Point.
