History
In 1929, The Perth Rotary Club presented the Perth City Council with a replica of the famous stature of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens London. The reproduction produced by the sculpture of the original stature, Sire George Frampton and autographed by the creator of Peter Pan author Sir J Barrie was a gift to the children of Western Australia to mark the centenary of the State. It is reputed to be the only one of five reproductions in the World.
There was considerable controversy surrounding the appropriate location for the statue, some Rotarians favouring Kings Park as the preferred location. Concerns over safety led to the choice of Queens Gardens. To comply with the donors wish that the statue to be placed in a similar surrounding to the original, changes were made to the layout of the gardens. This included the removal of one of the original grottoes and regarding to create a level space for the statue. In 1933 a special ceremony was held to mark the relocation of Peter Pan to its new position.
