The grounds of Bells Parade and picnic area plus views of the river. The old house was the caretakers cottage back in the day. A large platypus is their to view as well.
Came across a tree there with these pretty berries.
Elusive at time are the platypuses, haven't heard about there being a shortage of them. It's a big sculpture but should be up higher so it can be seen better.
Those look like Hawthorn berries - I have a Hawthorn hedge in the garden which will soon be covered in white blossom which will then yield red berries in the Autumn.
The old caretaker's cottage probable has many stories hidden away within its walls.
The only time I've seen a platypus in the "wild" was up in a creek at Eungella...up in the Pioneer Valley...west of Mackay. Such a sweet little fellow he was...and I felt thrilled, and honoured, to have seen him.

Hi Margaret, I loved being able to stroll along that river surrounded by all this exuberant nature. The photos are spectacular, the 1st with the red of the berries contrasting the green is so beautiful and colorful. Take care and be weel
I like the header very much!
ReplyDeleteA very nice place to visit no doubt
Thanks re header, it has a lovely flower does the Wisteria.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteA nice place. Wonderful to see all nature along the water.
Last shot is a funny picture.
Greetings, Marco
To me that sculpture of the platypus should be higher so one can see the shape of it better.
DeleteUn posto molto bello, strane le bacche non le avevo mai viste. Ciao e buona giornata Angelo.
ReplyDeleteA lot of berries on various trees this time of year here in Australia.
DeleteA beautiful place with some nice views. Those berries do look good.
ReplyDeleteI expect the birds might like those berries.
DeletePeaceful, beautiful, lovely. I didn't know about the 'big' platypus before. I hope they still thrive in the area.

A few tales to tell I'm sure Lee.
DeleteNot often do we see them Lee, people are always excited when they do see one.
That is one big Platypus!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
DeleteIf ever I make it back to Tasmania this place will be on my list.
ReplyDeleteShould be plenty of birds there.
DeletePor mi zona hay muchos espinos albar, Crataegus monogyna. Son preciosos. Besos.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful. Lovely they are.

Lovely of you to visit and leave a comment.
DeleteWe are now in Autumn and the weather is still nice and warm so far.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteA nice spot. Thats a big platypus.
ReplyDeleteIt is a biggin' but in my opinion should be up higher away from the frame if possible.
DeleteA beautiful picnic place. The berries look good to eat. Love the lake view.
ReplyDeleteMany families gather for a picnic there in summer mainly from what I have seen. The birds like those berries.
DeleteBeautiful photos without a doubt reflection of a very nice place and with a lot of charm.
