The Queen is believed by some[who?] to be a caricature of Queen Victoria, with elements of reality that Dodgson felt correctly would make her at once instantly recognizable to parents reading the story to children, and also fantastical enough to make her unrecognizable to children. Some elements of reality in line that would make the Queen of Hearts recognizable as Queen Victoria were the way in which their subjects viewed them as rulers as one Queen was loved while the other was feared. Queen Victoria was loved more by her people in contrast with her consort, Prince Albert, in part because some did not trust him as he wasn't English.[1] The Queen of Hearts was feared by the people of Wonderland and would give the order for execution for even the slightest offense, although her husband would often quietly pardon them. The reference to Queen Victoria is explicit in Jonathan Miller's 1966 television version where she and the King of Hearts are portrayed without any attempt at fantasy, or disguise as to their true natures or personality.

The Queen may also be a reference to Queen Margaret of the House of Lancaster. During the War of the Roses, a red rose was the symbol of the House Lancaster. Their rivals, the House of York, had a white rose for their symbol. The gardeners' painting the white roses red may be a reference to these two houses.

Nice place to walk, jog, spend the afternoon surrounded by nature within the city. Ducks, river and beautiful views.

It has a monument/statue in honour of Governor GEORGE FIFE ANGAS.

Well manicured park, full of green trees to give some shade and relax.

Nice to relax, with friendly walking trail along the River Torrens, located near to Adelaide Oval, with plenty of dancing swans to watchover on the river.

Lovely spot for morning walk and jog as well.

With plenty of cherry trees to bloom and well landscape spot with plenty of curated flowers during Spring season.

Just like the Elder Park, Angas Gardens is a lovely place to visit. It has lots of cozy places to relax or sunbath at and amazing views. It is generally a very quiet place to, so it is very pleasant to meditate here too. There are lots of ducks, black swans and other birds if you are interested in them. It is a good place to go with your children too as well.

We just walked through. Morning time, there is shade to walk by the Riverside. Nice. Fits in very nice within our attempt to explore Adelaide.
From King William road, we walked to Riverbank precinct by the side of casino and Festival centre. Crossed the river by this huge pedestrian bridge to go to the side of Adelaide oval.
Again walked by the side of river to cross under King William road. This is Angus Garden. Continued to walk until we saw University. Crossed river by bridge with plenty of locks towards Uni and walked through uni to reach North Gallery to see Art Gallery first. Then there is museum next door.
Rundell mall is walking distance from here.
