  A bandstand in the park had a useful social purpose. It brought music to many people who would have no other opportunity to hear it, it was a way to meet old friends and for the young to find new friends There is a synonymous relationship between bands, rotundas, and local communities. A locality expresses pride through a band, but the band needs a place to perform on a regular basis. A rotunda is then built for the benefit of the town band and the community and the rotunda becomes a focal point for the community. There is more to this of course and with each rotunda that has been built and survives, “each has a story to tell. Source: bandblastsfromthepast.blog/tag/pavilions-in-parks-bandsta...

  Queen's Park is a heritage-listed botanic garden at Sussex Street, Maryborough, Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. A reserve for the botanical gardens was gazetted in October 1873. It contains the Maryborough War Memorial. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. The Bandstand is an ornamental pavilion in Queen's Park, Maryborough which was originally constructed as shade over the Melville Memorial Fountain. The pavilion comprises a cast-iron ogee curved shade supported on cast-iron columns bedded in a concrete plinth. The Melville Fountain is located in near the south-eastern corner of Queen's Park. It is cast iron and forms the center of a large basin a column rises with griffin heads around the cap. Water spouts out of the mouths of the griffins. On the top of the column are three cranes. From the center rises two funnel-shaped, floral-type tiers, the lower tier larger, with a similarly designed upper tier. In the center of the upper tier is a cherub clasping a horn of plenty from which a jet of water is thrown upwards. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Park,_Maryborough
