From the 1880's it was the main port on the river, becoming northern Tasmania's second major trading port for a period.
Old English Trees grow along the Parade and provide shelter from the hot sun.
Bell's Parade has Platypus, though I haven't seen one as yet.
There are several events held at Bell's Parade one being the Henley-On-The-Mersey.
It's also a wonderful place for a picnic or a family gathering, or just a walk.
It's not that far from my dads house, so often if I have time in the summer I divert backwards to view and take some photos.
Winter time.
It looks like a nice park.

It is lovely, plus nice and clean.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWell, this looks like the prefect place for a stroll. So lovely that one can walk by the water's edge and be shaded by those magnificent mature trees. Lovely!
It's good to walk one side of the river, then across the bridge to the other side.
DeleteIt looks like such a peaceful place for a walk.
ReplyDeleteLovely and peaceful, especially during the week.
DeleteWhat a lovely park!

DeleteDo you know how old are these big trees?
