Botanic Gardens, Morshead Fountain

Morshead Fountain sits outside the Morehead Fountain Gate at the Royal Botanic Gardens and opposite the State Library of New South Wales and the Shakespeare Memorial at Shakespeare Place. The fountain was erected in 1966 in memory of Lieutenant-General Sir Lesley Morshead and the men who served with him.

    It looks like you saved the best for last. They sure have a bunch of great water features in that garden.

    Hilda, I've seen a few kids frolicking around that fountain, especially on those hot summer days.

    A lovely selection of fountains and bird baths. The sundial was particularly impressive. Must be a wonderful place to visit.
