Musgrave Park is a park in South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The park is bordered by Edmonstone, Russell, and Cordelia Streets, and Brisbane State High School, and has an area of 63,225 m2.〔 The park is of cultural significance to indigenous Australians. ==History== Musgrave Park is a remnant of the former Kurilpa (South Brisbane) Aboriginal camping ground that stretched from "Highgate Hill and on (to) the slanting slopes of Cumboomeya (Somerville House)" and additionally "sometimes they made a camp in the little scrub then situated on the river bank near the recent entrance to the Dry Dock".〔(Chas Melton, "When Wolloongabba was Wattle-scented", 20 March 1915, pp.58-59 of Melton Cuttings Book, RQHS).〕 From here and Woolloongabba, Aborigines in the 1840s and 1850s would go into South Brisbane to work chopping wood, carrying water, and selling fish.〔CLARK W. A JUBILEE RETROSPECT.—THE CITY OF SOUTH BRISBANE. The Queenslander (Brisbane) Saturday 7 August 1909 Page 21).〕 The South Brisbane Recreation Reserve (as it was originally known) was created in 1856. In 1867, it was proposed to build a public grammar school (Brisbane State High School) adjacent to the reserve. In 1998, the Brisbane City Council allocated part of the park for the establishment of an indigenous cultural centre. The council has described the park as a place for holding feasts, ceremonies and dispute resolution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Musgrave Park Cultural Centre )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Musgrave Park, Brisbane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
