Fagan Park - Part 1

What a wonderful place this is! I am definitely going back there! It was so peaceful and calm... The gardens there were just delightful and being Autumn, the colours were stunning! I am so happy to share the beauty I saw there with you. I hope you enjoy the following images, there will be more next week!

Abbotsford - along Hen and Chicken Bay

After some 'business' in the Strathfield area, we went in search for some 'pleasure' and came upon Battersea Park and Quarantine Reserve along Hen and Chicken Bay. No real theme here, just a bit of this and a bit of that from the area.

A few 'tinnies'.
