7. Australian Garden History Society national conference, November 2010
‘The Vision Splendid’
31st Australian Garden History Society Annual National Conference
Launceston, Tasmania
5-7 November 2010
By the end of the 19th century Launceston was one of the richest cities in Colonial Australia per head of population. This wealth was sourced from enormous deposits of tin, copper and gold.
Some of the funds generated by this mineral wealth were channelled through Launceston, leading to the construction of the Albert Hall to house the International Exhibition between 1891 and 1892. This magnificent building, one of the few great 19th century exhibition buildings to survive into the 21st century, is the venue for the 31st Australian Garden History Society national conference in November 2010.
