Abstract

Acacia Vale Gardens and Nursery was established in 1881 in Townsville, Queensland by Benjamin John Gulliver. It operated as a family business until 1938. As well as providing produce for a rapidly growing population and propagating and selling ornamental plants suitable for the seasonally dry tropical climate of Townsville, Acacia Vale was a venue for receptions, entertainment and relaxation.
