The tree cover in Sydney's Hyde Park is so lush and cool on a hot day.

(And yes, to everyone reading this from interstate or overseas: I know naming the big park in the Sydney CBD "Hyde Park" was not exactly a creative choice.)

(I'll also refrain from making me obvious jokes about Sydney's asbestos crisis.)

Gotta love those English settlers.
"We are going to have a park here, what shall we call it?"
"Hyde Park!"
"But, Hyde Park is in England."
"Yes, but I can't bring that one here, so let's call this spot Hyde Park."

They did the same thing in Perth. There's a Hyde Park here, also. Ours is also going to lose a fifth of its lovely trees in the near future.

@Nath @ajsadauskas I'm still trying to find Dr Jeckyl Park.
