Many
things at Olympic Park are functional, some look good as well. This
fountain just West of the Superdome isn't functional but sure looks
interesting. It proved to be a bit of a focus for club members,
particularly those who waited from 2:30 PM for everybody to turn
up.
Olympic Park is located next to the Parramatta River, and is surrounded by wetlands. The fountain is located on the edge of one of the many streams that run through the area. |

The fountain consists of about three rows of these...... well....water squirting cones. The top two were mounted on cut stone tiers, the lower row, pictured to the left, is located in a pool area. I wonder how many people will use it as a wading pool during the games!! Plenty will be my guess, even if September is not a hot month.
During our visit a couple of kids had some fun under the rock tier cascades. I took a couple of shots, but they are pretty ordinary.
Unfortunately I didn't get a shot of the whole thing - just bits that looked interesting in the viewfinder.

There seemed to be plenty of pattern type photo's about, like the one on the right, with similar ones on the pool cones.
The trick was to pick a time when there wasn't someone stooging around the cones - they are big enough to walk about...... |
