Crowd celebrating Federation Day in the City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane, 1 January, 1901

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  As in other cities around Australia, the residents of Brisbane welcomed in the new year, the new century and the new nation on Commonwealth Day, 1 January 1901. The festivities planned for Brisbane were both formal and fun. Churches held services where official prayers were said for the new Commonwealth and for Queen Victoria. Governor Lamington had responsibility for reading the proclamation of the Commonwealth of Australia and the message from Queen Victoria to the Australian people. The people of Brisbane were joined by those from surrounding districts and further afield, who had made the trip by train to see the processions and parades. Women and men were dressed in their finest clothes, and important businesses and public buildings of Brisbane were equally well decorated for the occasion.

  Amazing tree too Nature is so strange sometimes

• Ed Dempsey said:

  My brother and I ( two teenage boys with no interest in botanical gardens ) got into trouble at McKee Jungle Gardens, in the early 1960s. We passed the time waiting for Mom and Dad to complete their tour by feeding potato chips to the peacocks that wandered the parking lot. Some woman on the staff had a fit, telling us the chips, in quantity, could poison the birds.
