We are so lucky to have Cornwall Park
on our doorstep.
It is quite unusual - as this is a working farm
as well as a recreational park
in the centre of a city of 1.5 million people.
125 hectares is fenced off for the
Simmental cattle
and Perendale sheep
City children can experience a taste of
country living without leaving the city.
The park has a series of seasonal events
all through the year and everything is free.
There are sheep shearing displays
guided archaeologocal walks
art displays
school holiday activities
and much, much more.
Today I'm joining Mary for
please do visit her blog to see some
great photo mosaics.
À bientôt
be kind to one another

This is a wonderful thing to have in the middle of a city! It's such an education for everyone...not just the kids. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty park for walking. I love the sheep and cows. Wonderful mosaics, have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Shane, What a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the photographs you imagine these scenes are in the country. I love how the cow posed for you..... or was she being inquisitive .... I wonder.
Best Wishes

This is a really beautiful park and it's so nice that it's a working farm as well. I love sheep and your photos of them (and the cows) are beautiful. Pamela

What a great place for a walk, Shane. I did a bit of a double take when I saw the title "An Autumn Walk" but knew it had to be from someone in the southern hemisphere. I hope you are enjoying the change of season.
ReplyDeleteOh you are blessed to have such a wonderful experience so handy. What a good idea. Even better than Central Park!
ReplyDeleteDearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely park for a stroll or for a ride, due to its size.
Hugs to you and have a lovely new week.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place, this park! I have a particular fondness for sheep, so I love that picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment at Thinking About Home. Yes, Vee was so thoughtful, and it was sure worth a bit of planning to be able to meet her. :)
One of the things I love most about blogging is knowing that I have friends around the world who are celebrating the arrival of autumn as I celebrate the arrival of spring. How I love sheep -- that would be my perfect walk!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. I love those little sheep!
ReplyDeleteYou live in a wondrous land dear Shane...your photos are splendid and really make me want to visit (as if I didn't already want to before ;) )
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall to you dear one
