Fulfill your duck dream at Queens Park.
I was just telling my friend yesterday about why I love the parks in Melbourne... each of them packs a surprise for you. They are really not just trees and ponds but they have their own distinctive characteristic. Queens Park in the Moonee Ponds suburb (sadly, didn't manage to explore much of this area thereafter) had a particular niche for ducks... lots of them! They are au naturale - not planted there by anyone! This is an explainable wonderment from someone who comes from the land of manmade environment, okay? Here, pictures!
This is a 20-mins walk away from our lunch place, Andy's Yum Cha. Families were there in large gatherings. Boys playing frisbee, parents barbequing and chatting, kids chasing after ducks... the elders were strolling around the large lake/pond admiring the diamond glitters spangling off the surface of the water... perfect life, yes? I really liked the desert-themed plants there too, with uneven choreography of cacti planted around the area, with palm trees too. The sky that day was really, really blue. One of the days that I hold close to my heart.
