Alexandria, Sydney Park, wetlands

Sydney Park, in the inner city suburb of Alexandria, features a number of ponds and wetlands that attract many animals and birds. The site is a former brickworks that has been transformed into 44 hectares of parkland. This boardwalk extends into one of the ponds at the southern end of the park. The typical Autumn day started out with a warm sunny morning but ended up with a cool overcast afternoon.

  2. We got ESP of what? I just came back after an afternoon in the wet lands. No wonder the birds were flying away. They were flying to you.

  5. It's great to see the rehabilitation projects ... much more common now than they were in the past.

  6. I like that little break in the pond scum that allows a glimpse of the sky above!


    I WONDER WHY

    I wonder why
    Some love the sky
    But not the wind and rain.

    I wonder, friend,
    If sky will end—
    It’s too much for my brain!

  7. Magical Mystical Teacher, I believe that 'pond scum' is algae.
