Meet the birds


There are plenty of beautiful and friendly black swans, pelicans, ducks and seagulls you may spot at the Duck Pond. They are hard to be spotted anywhere else so close to the CBD.
Take your lunch box and have a seat next to the pond and view the birds walking slowly on the side, whilst you enjoy on a sunny day.
