Description:The Centennial Parklands location is significant, nestled between the central business district, the Disney Studios Australia 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. 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.
