32 Treasury Gardens in Melbourne, Australia

Wedge between the Old Treasury Building and the Fitzroy Gardens is 14 acres of tranquility at the base of Melbourne’s skyscrapers. In 1867, while Clement Hodgkinson was head of the Lands Department, he reshaped this former swampland with crossing walkways resembling UK’s Union Jack. He then lined the park with trees that are now mature and deafen the city noise. Surrounding this pond are several monuments including a tribute to John F. Kennedy. The memorial has a bas-relief of the former U.S. president by Raymond B. Ewers.
