A
El Alamein Fountain
One of the most notable landmarks in Kings Cross is the thistle-like fountain in the Fitzroy Gardens (actually a rather grungy plaza). The fountain is known locally as the elephant douche. Behind the fountain is a fortress-like police station where there are also some surprisingly safe public toilets. On Sundays, a small flea market sets up in the plaza.

Tank Stream Fountain
Designed by Stephen Walker, this four-part bronze fountain (1981) near Circular Quay incorporates dozens of sculptures of native Australian animals. The fountain is dedicated to ‘all the children who have played around the Tank Stream’. Play spot-the-echidna.
