Thus the land had always been envisaged by Brown as a river watercourse park belt allied to his envisaged carriage drive. Land Use The land use has shifted from a botanic garden venue to a despoiled grazing wasteland to a park works land with the commencement of tree planting program in 1880s. Fencing consolidated their use as a series of agistment so due to the smallness of paddocks linked to the efficiencies of managing flocks sheep, cattle and horses in larger paddocks.
