The Queens Domain, also know as The Domain to locals, is a small hilly area of bushland just north-east of the CBD of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, alongside the Derwent River. It is traditionally land that "belongs to the people", as commissioned by the Governor in 1860.
On the side of the hill facing the river sits Government House, and the Tasmanian Royal Botanical Gardens. Closer to the city, several sporting complexes are located, including the Hobart Aquatic Centre, Hobart International Tennis Centre and the Hobart TCA Ground. The north-west face, along with most of the area, is covered in bushland, as well as a few small community halls and community green.Template:Australia-geo-stub
