St George’s Park water lilies:
I took a walk around St George’s Park the other day. Yes, alone and with my camera in hand. It really isn’t as bad as so many people would like to make it out to be. It’s just important to stay alert and observant but I didn’t notice any unsavory characters hanging out in the park. I did notice that the water lilies on the central pond was beautiful though.

The St Georges Park Oak that isn’t anymore:
In 1861, Mayor William Smith planted an Oak tree at the spot in the then new St Georges Park to commemorate the visit in 1860 of His Royal Highness Prince Alfred. The tree unfortunately blew over in January 2001 with the original inscription then being moved to the Parks Division offices nearby. Today the spot is marked by a plaque.
