Botanic Gardens, Wishing Well Fountain
The Wishing Well Fountain sits close to the Palace Garden Gate entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens along Macquarie Street. It was designed by architect Professor Peter Spooner in 1963 for the NSW Society for Crippled Children. The pool and fountainhead was redesigned by Phill and K.V. Taranto Architects in 1988. I have photographed this fountain at night during the Sydney Vivid Festival which can be seen here.
What an unusual fountain!
ReplyDeleteAmong the many beautiful or interesting things you show us, I am afraid this is not one of them.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, you may be right there but it had to be shown. I've added a link to a night view during the Vivid Sydney Festival which was better.
ReplyDeleteThe fountain and its surrounds are lovely. The two benches need a good paint job.

I think it is a nice fountain but the basin doesn't suit it and the benches need a good paint.
