In the warmer months, looking down from this observation platform rewards park visitors with a view teeming with an array of native turtle species sunning themselves on the natural flotsam and jetsam of fallen tree branches.

The iconic sign outside of the Southern Theatre. Very cool and classic looking because of the use of individual light bulbs. A bit of a challenge to photograph since it's only illuminated when there is a performance at the venue.
