Oak Tree in the Park.

 Autumn tree in City Park, Launceston, Tasmania.  It's an Oak tree and all the trees in the park have been planted and some are native to Australia.





Play area and water fountain.  I used to bring my children here to play years ago and not much has changed just renovations. 



The City Park has several entrances which are locked at sunset, open sunrise I believe, this is one entrance.

    1. It sure is. There are monkey's there too which are going somewhere not to return as they are becoming inbred, so we are told.

  3. I love oak trees especially when they are allowed to grow to full size and have so much shade for people to sit under and the autumn displays are beautiful.

    1. They are lovely trees, it's not that often we see them growing to full size so that in itself is a treat, R.

    1. Yes, Linda a gorgeous tree. I've never seen another water fountain like that one. It's very different.

  5. How beautiful it is! Right now, in front of my house, there is a ginkgo biloba tree that is losing its yellow leaves, covering the ground with that color.

    1. I read somewhere that one of the Oak trees in the park was 180 years old, not sure if it's the one I have shown here, Angie.

  13. It looks lovely. It is sad that they lock the parks at night though. A sign of our times.

  14. This familiar entrance to City Park in Launceston, framed by the golden hush of an autumn oak, evokes tender memories of childhood laughter and quiet constancy in a place where time gently renovates but rarely erases.

    1. Lot of memories there, the children who play in their area and even have their own loo, amazing. I've taken my own sons there and grandchildren over the years to enjoy their play area and see all the trees, ponds and so on.

  15. Going with your children to City Park is great fun... until it is not. But I would still go, even if you have to take a husband, a dog or a ladies' coffee group.

    The tree is really beautiful with the autumn colours.
    The playground with the fountain is also very nice for children to play there.
