My contribution for this week’s
Fountains
challenge.
~~~~~
Some local fountains to begin…
On the shore of Lake Wendouree, Ballarat.
Lake Wendouree was the site of all rowing events
at the 1956 Olympic Games.
Geelong Botanical Gardens.
Not sure if this is an operating fountain,
or, whether the previous photo
belongs is part of this fountain.
A wall of water at Manly, Sydney,
which was being enjoyed…
by this pair.
The King’s Cross Fountain.
I knew King’s Cross as a suburb of Sydney
and its reputation before my visit last year.
The fountain was not one of the things to
which I am referring.
According to
Frankie Davidson’s 1962 song Have You Ever Been to See King’s Cross
I have now seen the world. 😀

The very first night we were in Australia in 1966 (having come with our 3 children from Canada), we stayed in King’s Cross. We had no idea about its reputation.

That would have been an eye opener in 1966 😀

We were such innocents, we had no idea where we were. 🙂

Know that feeling…I grew up in the country. We made a three hundred kilometre trip to Melbourne to a concert with two young boys, and decided to book a small apartment in one of Melbourne’s “Little” streets. It was a long post concert walk down Little Collins Street, which opened our eyes to late night Melbourne. 😃

I have been to Kings Cross and remember that fountain. Love these photos, especially the children – great capture

Thanks Raewyn. Was the choice of a train ride to Kings Cross or walking to…somewhere from Circular Quay. My choice was vindicated when several walkers grumbled about the heat and distance. My feet and legs were screaming for a train ride. 😀 ….and I wasted to see Kings Cross…even if it was mid afternoon on a hot day.

Yes I saw it on Taswegain57’s blog as well. Did not know it had any other name the the King’s Cross Fountain. Only goes to prove one can learn something everyday.

I thought it interesting…although there in broad daylight. I was told that Saturday nights were a different story.
