Access is easy. A wide, all-abilities concrete path leads straight from the nearby carpark to the installation, making it welcoming for everyone, including prams, wheelchairs, and those enjoying a gentle walk along the lake foreshore. It features a selfie post, where iPhones and the like can be positioned for automatic and iconic image captures.
