Rookwood, horse fountain

This horse fountain is in the middle of scenic Rookwood Memorial Gardens and Crematorium, in the western suburb of Rookwood. A couple of rainbow lorikeets an be seen here taking a bath at the top of the fountain.

  5. Is that still part of the cemetery? I haven't been there for about 100 years and it was very scruffy then.

  6. How alluring to take a seat, interesting thought, that the benches seem to look away from the fountain.

    Please have a wonderful Sunday.

  9. Bruce, yes Rookwood Gardens is right in the middle of the cemetery. I've been there many times but only now discovered the gardens there myself.

    Robert, I guess the benches are facing in the other direction so people can enjoy the views of the gardens rather than the fountain.
