A Garden In The City

The Albert Park Band Rotunda was constructed in 1901. If it looks in good nick, it’s because it had a paint-job in 2018. It’s beautiful, a lovely octagonal shape with curved wooden seats inside and pathways leading towards it from across Albert Park. It’s not the centre of Albert Park…
