There is no shade over this first stretch but it is not long and soon the deep, cool shade of the avenue of trees is reached. Sports pitches are soon passed and the pine grove just beyond them. On the other side of the road is the elegant Federation Pavilion. To the right is the small fly casting pond and beyond it the lovely Willow Pond. The track then crosses Dickens Drive and passes the two small islands of Willow Pond.
The One More Shot Pond is just over the road on the left and then on the right there appears a row of stately palm trees and the simply but irresistibly named Duck Pond. The pond is a large one and has many quacking inhabitants. Walkers please note that the traditional but environmentally unfriendly pursuit of feeding bread to the ducks is not approved of in Centennial Park. Nonetheless, the verdant grass around the Duck Pond is particularly blessed with shady spots that beckon to all but the most serious of exercisers for a rest and recuperation stop.
Just after the Duck Pond, the path crosses Parkes Drive and soon passes a paddock and showjumping area with its wafting equine aromas. On the other side of the road is a small wood, and at its end lie the excellent learner cycleway and playground. Kensington Ponds are on the far side of the cycleway. Continuing along, the McKay Sports Ground is on the right and even before Busby Pond appears, its noisy inhabitants can be heard.
Busby Pond marks the beginning of the home straight, or rather the home curve, as the road and walking track loop past the pond and alongside the sweetly named Frog Hollow.
The roof of the Centennial Park Restaurant soon appears and it is just a swift push onwards to the Cafe for a refreshing cuppa. Centennial Park has lots of other pleasures for families. There is the playground and learner cyclewa y and Centennial Park Cafe. Check out the Centennial Parklands website for all the information you need. To reduce the length of the circuit and increase the duck-spotting opportunities, take the walkway beside Parkes Drive which commences close to the cafe.

Hi there I wanted to say hi. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Which is not one thing I ordinarily do! I delight in reading a post that may make people think.
Also, thanks for allowing me to comment! By having that much written content do you get any problems of plagiarism infringement? Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen?
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post.
I am very glad to see such excellent information being shared freely out there. I absolutely liked reading everything that is posted on your site. Keep the posts coming. I liked it! I like the valuable information you supply to your articles.
