The band rotunda in Queens Park is now a venue used for occasional musical performances, but was originally a roof for the Fairy Fountain. It dates back to 1890 and earlier, when the structure was imported from Scotland by a Miss Janet Melville, who bequeathed it to the public in memory of her brother Andrew. The Fairy Fountain in Queens Park is surrounded by masses of flowers. This tree is believed to be the oldest and biggest of its kind in Australia. At the gates of Queens Park, on the corner of Sussex and Bazaar Streets, stands the war memorial which remains the focal point of annual Anzac Day ceremonies.
Powerful floodlights make it easy to see at nights.
