Gallery of log for Water Fountain

14-Feb-12
WanderingAus wandered by on a Waymarking trip, and parked near the Cannington Town Hall to Waymark the Town Hall, a Dated Building, an Abstract Public Sculpture, and two Fountains.

This was the second fountain, which is in the middle of a lake in front of the City of Canning Administration and Civic Centre.

When I first noticed this fountain in the early to mid 1970s it was at the middle of a smaller lake. It was an oscillating wave style fountain with changing multi-colour lights focused with the water, and was really spectacular particularly at night.

Over the years I've seen it fall into disrepair, reinstated with and without lights, several times the lake was drained and it looked like being filled in, but now it has been reborn as a large healthy wetland lake attracting ducks, and reflects the City of Canning's affinity with the nearby Canning River and it's natural wetlands.
