Additional Information
The Domain Parklands form a patchwork of different parks, gardens and reserves, comprising of The Domain, Kings Domain, the Shrine Reserve, Alexandra Park, Queen Victoria Gardens and Alexandra Gardens.Bird's eye view of Kings Domain

The Domain, which includes Kings Domain, encircles the Government House Reserve, and the Royal Botanic Gardens and extends to the Yarra River. The strong visual relationship with the spine of the City grid has been instrumental in the Domain's development as the setting for Government House, the Shrine of Remembrance and other formal memorials.

The parklands offer an array of art installations, monuments and sculptures, making them well worth a visit. The more energetic can take a run around ‘The ‘Tan’ or just enjoy the grassy open spaces, shady trees and gardens.
