Centennial Park, Duck Pond
These boardwalks stand over Duck Pond in Centennial Park, in the eastern suburbs. The 189 hectare park was dedicated in 1888 to celebrate the centenary of European settlement in Australia. This grand park in the Victorian period tradition features formal gardens, ponds, grand avenues, statues, historic buildings and sporting fields.
Very nice Jim.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot, Jim.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what all the projecting bits of concrete are on the boardwalk? Was there more boarding there in the past or are they a whimsy? They look good anyway.
Nick, they are actually weathered timbers protruding from the boardwalk. I believe they've been put there for the birds to rest and sun themselves.
ReplyDeleteA great capture Jim. Love the design of the boardwalks with "spokes". Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNice photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine to you!
Nice photo but I hope families are careful when they there as I can see some youngster running and ending up in the water!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture Jim, I am wondering about those finger like projections of concrete are. Any clue? Ok, now I am reading Jim's message and see his answer. Still an interesting picture and something to talk about.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteI love the different shape for the walkway. It would be wonderful to visit the park some day!
ReplyDeleteJudy Bigg, they certainly are an unusual feature of the boardwalk and what caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great place to take a camera on a walk. ... Lovely pic Jim.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the pelican posed for the photo. Perfect! :-)
ReplyDeleteJM, yes I was happy the pelican was there at the right time.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I haven't been visited this place. I hope one day.
