Lonely Planet review for Albert Park Lake

Elegant black swans give their inimitable bottoms-up salute as you circumnavigate the 5km perimeter of this man-made lake. Jogging, cycling, walking or clamouring over play equipment is the appropriate human equivalent. Lakeside Dr was used as an international motor-racing circuit in the 1950s, and since 1996 the revamped track has been the venue for the Australian Formula One Grand Prix each March. Also on the periphery is the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre, with an Olympic-size pool and child-munching wave machine.

    heaps of birdlife

    djebru recommends this,

    Albert Park Lake is a lovely place to relax or exercise, and the views of the city over the water are very pretty. If you're interested in Australian birds, it's a great place to see black swans (hundreds!), pelicans, cormorants and other waterfowl (maybe the odd heron, even).
