City park near Melbourne CBD
Visits
- 2025-11-14: En route to our trip to the CBD, we visited the entrance area of the park.
- 2025-11-15: We got an early start for a walk into the park near our hotel. We walked for awhile, and eventually we ended up in a spot that was supposed to have a huge colony of fruit bats. The bats had moved, however, so we had to walk even further in order to see them.
