This park was opened in 2001 and so it has the advantage of being designed in a modern way, from scratch. The architecture of bridges and water features is inspired. It brings together building structures and plants in such a harmonious way - I really loved it. The plants are arranged into natural regions - but I liked the fact that mostly, the plants were planted according to the gardeners' taste and not because they all came from one part of the world.

| A wall of water - very noisy. In front of this there was a lush green lawn and in the evening, a big group of young men gathered to play football; bare feet, shirts vs. skins. |

| The frangipani tree has bullet-like tips to its twigs. it's popular in Australia. |
 |
| Note the water coming down the steps. |
 |
| The pink concrete wall is planted but a space for a window is left. |
 |
| "Dragons" are a feature of the garden - they waddle along comically. |
