I for ISLAND

The Darebin Parklands are an island of green, serene, natural environment within the surrounding sprawl of Melbourne's inner suburbs. And within the ponds of the Parklands one may find the occasional island on which there is a further little ecological niche where creatures may find refuge. These ibises certainly are enjoying the extra protection that such an island provides.
