Comments: The versatile location! The Centennial Parklands location is
significant, nestled between the central business district, the Fox
Film Studios and the popular eastern beaches. Within the one 365
hectare precinct you'll find a large, water-oriented parkland with pine
forests, rocky outcrops, cliff faces and a great natural environment
just 10 minutes drive from the Sydney CBD. Locations are available
in Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queens Park, including E.S.
Marks Athletic Stadium and the Centennial Parklands Equestrian
Centre.
The diversity of the landscapes within Centennial Park range from
carefully tended garden beds to relatively wild places with long grass
and native trees and thickly wooded areas. A superb Victorian iron
picket fence with several gateways consisting of ornate sandstone
pillars encloses the entire park.
Pine Grove - This superb Pine forest is a sought after location. It
has been used for an aircraft crash scene and a saffron trail through
an Asian forest. This versatile location allows the freedom to create
the feel of a forest anywhere on the globe.
Sandstone Ridge - This natural sandstone ridge with rocky outcrops
surrounded by semi-wild vegetation creates a sense of wilderness
close to the heart of the city. This secluded area provides
filmmakers with the opportunity to set a scene that could be
anywhere in Australia.
Rose Garden - This formal rose garden with a Victorian feel is
surrounded by palm trees and ponds evoking an atmosphere of
romance and beauty.
Heritage features - The Parklands contain historically significant
landscapes, sites, bridges, and monuments such as the Federation
Pavilion and historic statues and remnants of European settlement
from the earliest times. The plantings of the Parklands remain a
notable example of Victorian landscaping in Australia.
E.S. Marks Athletic Stadium - A good class rekortan athletics track
with an 8 lane track and 10 lane straight. Field event facilities are
available. There is a covered stand which seats up to 2000 people
and uncovered tiered seating for 3000 people.
Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre - For productions that
include horses, the Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre (next
door to Centennial Park at the former Moore Park showgrounds) is
the ideal environment. Facilities include a 3.6 kilometre equestrian
STACKS OF FACTS ~ 2009/2010
track which circles the Centennial Park, historic stable pavilions, a
huge covered dressage arena and a separate equestrian ground.
Horses are available for hire at the Equestrian Centre.
Snake Bank - For a tropical or Asian feel this location provides a
palm tree-lined track surrounding a large pond which could be any
watercourse you wish to create.
Paperbark Grove - A splendid vista of Melaleuca trees stretching for
250 metres.
Lachlan Swamp - An enchanted forest of Paperbarks and She-oaks
with a magical atmosphere. This location could be anywhere from
Kakadu to Louisiana.
Ponds - Centennial Park contains 12 ponds each with its own
unique
character. Busby's Pond has a reed fringed shore, water lilies and
large islands that are home to nesting birds. Duck Pond is home to
more than 15 species of birds including Black Swans, Egrets and
Herons.
Amphitheatre - This natural amphitheatre with sandstone steps has
views of Federation Valley and Botany Bay, right through to the
Royal National Park.
Grand Drive - Grand Drive is the main route that circles around the
inside of Centennial Park. This stately drive is lined by an avenue of
trees such as Port Jackson Figs, Holm Oaks and Norfolk Island
Pines.
Queens Park - Coral trees planted along the Queens Park perimeter
look spectacular when they flower from late winter to early spring.
Majestic specimens of Moreton Bay Figs are also contained within
the park, along with wild grassy areas.
Vantage Points - Mount Steele allows a view of a natural landscape
uninterrupted by buildings. Reservoir Number 1 in Centennial Park
and the Carrington Road boundary of Queens Park both have
sweeping vistas of the Sydney Basin, some extending as far south
as Robertson on a clear day.
