In a bizarre discovery, more than a dozen dead animals were discovered in a Brisbane park on Thursday evening. They include a koala, several dogs, guinea pigs and a cat. Police and the RSPCA are investigating the circumstances surrounding the slayings.
The park has undergone many transformations throughout the years. The original George Bowen Gardens, named for the Governor of Queensland, are now just 17,740 square metres. The park is located on the corner of Bowen Bridge Road and O’Connell Terrace. It is significant in Queensland’s cultural and historical evolution, as well as for its aesthetic value and connection with community and spiritual reasons. For this reason, it is important for Brisbane to celebrate the beauty of its parklands.
The city is considering a variety of ways to improve the park. Council has started a planning process for several major upgrades to the park. This will include involving the community in the design process and consulting with experts. The park is now accessible by car, but future plans will provide better access via bus and rail. High-frequency Brisbane Metro buses will transport passengers directly to the park.
If you’re a dog owner, Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens are a great place to take your pet. The gardens are free and open to the public. The city council provides more than 160 off-leash dog areas in its parks. Most of these areas are fenced. The gardens are also home to the City Botanic Gardens, which is Brisbane’s original botanic garden. The park is also home to a weekly farmers’ market.
