The garden is situated on a hill. In the early years, it was the colonial cemetery, also known as Burial Hill. The name Flagstaff was given to Melbourne's bay before the Highlands, where a flagpole was erected in 1840 to facilitate contact between land and sea. It was only in 1880 that it was officially converted into a park. With the rise of buildings around the garden, it is impossible to see the Bay anymore, nor to feel that you are standing on a high ground. Park is a large area of lawn, a variety of flowers and a variety of long-standing trees. I live in Pegasus Apartment Hotel and walk to the garden, so I go for a walk after dinner. There are also many Chinese here, men, women, old and young, who feel like they are in the first class of domestic parks. There is a chapel in the garden class called St. James Old Catherdral, the oldest church in Melbourne.
