- HeimbodyVictoria, Canada58 contributionsInteresting historical walk. I also took the opportunity to chat with a father and daughter who were fishing off a wharf near one of the sculpture points. Australians are very friendly, generally, and pleased to chat with visitors. They have a relaxing attitude toward life. As the father replied as I wished them luck, "It's called fishing, not catching".Written 1 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
