A little bit of magical Children’s fantasy in the heart of East Perth, Western Australia
皇后花园的点评
点评：During May 2024, my wife and I visited Perth, Western Australia for an annual National Conference of one of my organisations. The Conference was staged at the Hyatt Regency in Adelaide Street, East Perth and we chose to stay nearby in a studio apartment in Fraser Suites ( also in Adelaide Street ( 4 minutes walk away).
On our free day before the Conference commenced, we chose to go into the main CBD via Langley Park. However, prior to doing that we called into the delightful Queen’s Gardens located just 5 minutes walk from Fraser Suites with an entrance off Hay Street and adjacent to the WACA ( Western Australian Cricket Association) cricket ground – separated by Hale Street. The Gardens were named after Queen Victoria and opened in 1899. The park is bounded by Hay Street to the south, Plain Street to the west, Nelson Crescent to the north, and Hale Street to the east.
We were fortunate to be staying in East Perth so getting to the Gardens was easy for us. However, East Perth can be easily reached from the Perth CBD by catching a city bus or one could do the walk along Hay Street until the Gardens are reached.
What a delightful piece of green space so beautifully maintained and landscaped. It’s a little gem in the city and well worth a visit. Queens Gardens, East Perth, is a 3.3 hectare park on a former brickworks and clay pit site and opened to the public in 1899. There is a very impressive set of wrought iron entrance gates to the Gardens on the corner of Hay and Plain Streets. Also once inside there is a more than useful poster map showing the key features of the Gardens
This lovely oasis in the heart of East Perth has beautifully manicured gardens and lakes full of water lilies as well as being the habitat of the Western Australian bird emblem – the Black Swan. There are also impressive trees dotted strategically throughout the Gardens. We also noticed a neat Rotunda where no doubt weddings are held or where music bands perform. It really was a delight walking through these Gardens.
However, despite all these outstanding features the jewel in the crown has to be the Garden’s main attraction – the Peter Pan Statue – an exact replica of Sir George Frampton's famous Peter Pan statue which is located in London's Kensington Gardens in England. This one in East Perth is one of only seven made from the original mould.
The bronze replica statue was presented to the children of Western Australia by members and friends of the Rotary Club of Perth in 1927. Like the original London statue the Perth replica statue was also unveiled during the night to create a belief among the children that it had been planted there by the fairies. Nothing beats the delightful world of make believe among young children – long may it remain I say.
I will now say a few words about the statue itself. It is indeed a wonderful work of art. The statue stands about 4 metres high. At the top of the statue is a young boy (Peter Pan) about life size for an eight-year-old, blowing a thin musical instrument like a trumpet or flute. Peter Pan was a free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up. This boy is standing on a conical shaped plinth decorated with small figures of squirrels, rabbits, mice, birds and fairies. Among all the various animal figures on the statue is also a replica signature of J M Barrie, the Scottish playwright who created Peter Pan in 1911. The amazing scenes portrayed before my very eyes courtesy of this statue, brought back childhood memories when Peter Pan indeed reined supreme. J M Barrie’s immortal character and stories were a key part of my early life growing up, so it was great to evoke memories so many decades later.
If you have a few days in Perth to look around the place you must aim to call in to the Queen’s Gardens in East Perth. It would be well worth the effort and travellers, like us, will not be disappointed. It was a real surprise packet for us and we were so pleased we made the effort, not just to see the Peter Pan Statue but also to admire the sheer beauty of its excellent manicured landscape.

翻译：2024 年 5 月，我和妻子前往西澳大利亚珀斯参加我的一个组织的年度全国会议。会议在东珀斯阿德莱德街的凯悦酒店举行，我们选择住在附近的弗雷泽套房酒店（也在阿德莱德街（步行 4 分钟即可到达）的单间公寓中。
在会议开始前的空闲时间，我们选择通过兰利公园前往主要中央商务区。然而，在那之前，我们参观了美丽的女王花园，它距离弗雷泽套房酒店仅 5 分钟步行路程，入口位于海伊街，毗邻 WACA（西澳大利亚板球协会）板球场 - 中间隔着黑尔街。花园以维多利亚女王的名字命名，于 1899 年开放。公园南面以海伊街为界，西面以普莱恩街为界，北面以纳尔逊新月街为界，东面以黑尔街为界。
我们很幸运住在东珀斯，所以去花园对我们来说很容易。但是，从珀斯中央商务区乘坐城市巴士可以轻松到达东珀斯，或者可以沿着海伊街步行到达花园。
多么令人愉悦的一片绿地，维护得如此精美，景观如此优美。它是城市中的一颗小宝石，值得一游。皇后花园位于东珀斯，占地 3.3 公顷，位于前砖厂和粘土坑旧址上，于 1899 年向公众开放。在 Hay 街和 Plain 街的拐角处，有一组非常令人印象深刻的锻铁入口大门。此外，一旦进入花园，就会看到一张非常有用的海报地图，展示了花园的主要特色
东珀斯中心的这片美丽绿洲拥有修剪整齐的花园和满是睡莲的湖泊，也是西澳大利亚鸟类象征——黑天鹅的栖息地。花园各处还点缀着令人印象深刻的树木。我们还注意到一个整洁的圆形大厅，毫无疑问，这里会举行婚礼或乐队表演。漫步在这些花园中真的是一种享受。
然而，尽管有这些突出的特点，花园最吸引人的地方还是花园的主要景点——彼得潘雕像——这是乔治·弗兰普顿爵士著名的彼得潘雕像的精确复制品，该雕像位于英国伦敦的肯辛顿花园。东珀斯的这座雕像是仅有的七座用原始模具制作的雕像之一。
1927 年，珀斯扶轮社的成员和朋友将这座青铜复制雕像赠送给了西澳大利亚的孩子们。和原来的伦敦雕像一样，珀斯复制雕像也在夜间揭幕，让孩子们相信它是仙女们种在那里的。没有什么比小孩子们的幻想世界更令人愉快的了——我希望它能一直存在下去。
现在我要说几句关于雕像本身的话。它确实是一件精美的艺术品。雕像高约 4 米。雕像顶部是一个小男孩（彼得潘），大约是八岁儿童的真人大小，吹着小号或长笛之类的细长乐器。彼得潘是一个自由奔放、顽皮的小男孩，他会飞，而且永远不会长大。这个小男孩站在一个圆锥形的底座上，底座上装饰着小松鼠、兔子、老鼠、小鸟和仙女。在雕像上各种动物雕像中，还有苏格兰剧作家 J M Barrie 的签名复制品，他于 1911 年创作了彼得潘。这座雕像在我眼前描绘的惊人场景，勾起了我童年的回忆，那时彼得潘确实称霸了。J M Barrie 不朽的性格和故事是我成长过程中的关键部分，所以在几十年后能唤起我的回忆真是太好了。
如果你有几天时间在珀斯四处游览，你一定要去东珀斯的女王花园。这将是非常值得的，像我们这样的旅行者不会失望的。这对我们来说真是一个惊喜，我们很高兴我们做出了努力，不仅是为了看到彼得潘雕像，也是为了欣赏其修剪整齐的景观的纯粹之美。
