Statement of Significance

Contribution to landscape of historic garden
Historical value associated with British Royalty

The 69 English Elms (Ulmus procera Salisb) in the 1889 Queens Walk are historically significant as part of an historic park and contribution to the landscape of Yarra Park,
'Queens Walk' is of scientific significance as knowledge of the exact planting dates provides rare information on growth rates and size. It is the best of the examples of Elm Avenues within Yarra Park and these avenues are becoming increasingly rare.
