| The Lions Gate - St Davids Park |
Beautiful Rotunda in the middle of the grounds.
The sad historical view of St Davids Park. Head stone ally shows how harsh the conditions were when the area was first settled. Infant death was prevelent. The journey out from England or even across the Bass Straight was endemic of the hard life that these new settlers could look forward to. Lives were lost on sea and some as soon as they touched down in early 1800's.
The majestic pavilion
Monkey puzzle trees that were planted to commemorate the coronation of King George and Queen Elizabeth in 1937.
John Woodcock Graves memorial
Just out side the gate where my car was parked is the oldest Royal Tennis Club in Australia… (that square building in the fore ground)
A pictorial walk through the park………so to speak.
Another lovely day in paradise…
