    Blue Gum Park

    Find a quiet patch in Blue Gum Park. The Park Lands offer wide, grassed spaces that feel far from the city centre even on busy days. Settle in and watch the sky lighten.

    Watch the sun crest the horizon. On mid-January mornings the light turns warm and golden just before 20:00, casting long shadows across the gum trees.
