Mary Carroll Park...

Mary Carroll Park is a place I had never of, at the beginning of July I drove out to have a look. 

Apparently the area was somewhat delerict until a massive revamping of the area was done. 

This included an upgrade to the wetlands with a couple of new bridges across the water, giving stunning views across the small lake. 

It also has a new play area and there was a mention of a yarning circle, however I failed to find that.

The water level at the time I visited the park was very low, and given the lack of rain and warm weather over the past month, I can't see it being full enough for the sweltering summer months ahead.

There were plenty of banded stilts out on the lake feeding, along with a variety of ducks. A local told me there were black swans here, I however failed to see them.

I noticed an assortment of mushrooms and fungi along the very short walk around the park, and only a few pops of colour from native flowers as it was too early for wildflowers to be blooming fully...
