Rosette Rock Lookout - Keilor North (VIC)

Joseph Lioner Riversdale Park is an amazing destination for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day out. This park is a true gem in the heart of the city, with something to offer for everyone. From its beautiful walking trails and lush greenery to its impressive playground and picnic areas, Riversdale Park has it all. The park is well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasure to spend time here. The walking trails are well-marked and easy to navigate, and the views are simply stunning. Youll feel like youve been transported to a peaceful oasis, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. One of the standout features of Riversdale Park is its playground. Its one of the best Ive seen, with plenty of equipment to keep kids of all ages entertained. There are swings, slides, climbing structures, and more. The playground is also surrounded by picnic tables and benches, making it the perfect spot for a family outing. Overall, I cant recommend Riversdale Park enough. Whether youre looking for a peaceful retreat in nature or a fun-filled day with the family, this park has it all. Its definitely one of the best parks in the area, and Ill be coming back again and again.

Shai N We had a small picnic in this park yesterday. It was very beautiful and relaxing time visiting this place. We ate on the bench first and later on laid out the picnic mat to rest up. I did take opportunity to take pictures near the small pond. You can bring your family and pup, friends or your special one to just chill and soak up vitamin D

Ana Lorena CD A beautiful garden between houses. Nice playground, a picnic table and lots of trees.

Nara Lee Great, well-maintained park with a walking/cycling trail (Anniversary Trail) which makes for a decent but short exercise. Next to the train line so expect to see trains rushing by. There’s also a cricket oval, playground, bathroom and parking here.

SEAL WANG Quiet & peace, good for walking.

bobyohya A charming Sunday market full of surprises! This vibrant outdoor market is a great way to spend your weekend. You’ll find more than just secondhand clothes — there are flower bouquets, potted plants, and even cozy coffee trucks serving up great brews. Right next door is another indoor market, and the surrounding area is dotted with cafés, making it a lovely spot to hang out and explore. Many vendors offer clothing at clearance prices, and you can pay by card or cash. Just keep in mind: it closes quite early — around 11:30 AM, they begin making closing announcements and stalls start packing up. Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the full experience and to secure a parking spot — it gets busy quickly! Highly recommend for anyone who loves vintage finds and local vibes.

Callum Paul Did a quick lap of The Square, almost felt as though it had its own sort of consciousness. Lovely spot, great sounds of the motorcross bikes floating across from the track too.

Daniel Soendoko Amazing place to spend time with family. Very clean and lots of things to play.

Benjamin Clay Iconic park. Not many around this area that suit both kids and adults alike. Toilet was diabolical though. Think someone was living in there.

Adam G Designed by sculptor John Hochgurtel, the historic (Josef) Hochgurtel Fountain, also known as the Exhibition Fountain was commissioned in 1880 for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880–81. Standing at ten metres tall, on the south side of the Royal Exhibition Building, outside the Great Hall, the colossal fountain has characteristics of Victorian-era architecture. The base of the fountain is a large circular pool and on a rockey island rising up from the water in the centre of the pool are four fish-tailed merpeople, both male and female, naked children, and goannas, platypus and ferns. With arms stretched above them, the four merpeople are holding up a large dish. At the centre of this dish stand four naked youthful figures dancing about a central column and with arms joined together representing a young and vibrant colony that Victoria was at the time. Above them is a smaller dish and symbolising the objective of world fairs, the underside of this dish features symbols of the arts, industry, commerce and science; for example, musical instruments, a steam engine, sailing ship, telescope, surveying implements and a globe of the world. At the next level is yet a smaller disk the underside of which is adorned with images of Victorias indigenous flora and fauna. A naked boy stands in the centre of this top dish holding a clamshell above his head. The whole structure is beautifully enhanced by atmospheric sprays of crystal clear water which shoot out from the fountain. The historic Hochgurtel Fountain is the largest and most elaborate fountain in Australia. Its a real treasure and one of the landmark features of the Carlton Gardens in Melbourne, and a centrepiece in front of the south facade of the Royal Exhibition Building. While the fountain itself makes a grand overall impression, I also love the smaller details.
