West Gate Park, Melbourne

We went for a walk in the West Gate Park last week. The park is rather interesting with birds and Australian indigenous trees and shrubs. There are also  a few sculptures.

The park runs along the banks of the Yarra River under the Westgate Bridge (above). The bridge  joins Melbourne's western suburbs to the CBD, and is used by by thousands of commuters daily.
