Last one. This one could easily be construed as not being a park, but friends of mine and I use it like a park. And anyway, this is my blog, so I'll decide what's a park and what isn't. That being said, welcome to the wonderful world of...
The Hilly bits at Swinburne!
Since taking these photos I've realised that I probably didn't capture the hilliness quite so well as I'd have liked so I've posted another photo from our good friends at Google Earth to illustrate. The bits between the paths are all little hills, as is poorly illustrated in the photos below.
These hilly areas are great for a kick of the footy or a game of fris when traffic is minimal or just a relax or study in class time. The area is well lit and often safely populated at night, so a spot of intoxicated night fris can brighten even the most dull evening.

There are other sections to this area, however the grass tends to be fake and there are signs much like the one in the photo on the left, so it is hard to argue a case for them being parks. This being said, there are still some nice plantings around those areas, tending to be use a lot of
Westringia fruticosa as hedging.

Also worth noting here at Swinburne is the unbelievable cockatoo population. The photo on the right illustrates a very small portion of the cockatoos that frequent the area. Usually when they swarm conversations occurring outdoors have to cease until the racket subsides. And they poo on stuff.
