Brolga Boogie

An eye-catching fountain in Darling Harbour, it features several silver statues of Australian native brolgas surrounding a spiral fountain.
Brolgas are showy birds so it’s a fun fountain.
The birds are performing their flamboyant mating dance, with their wings spread wide and their long necks swaying and curving upwards.
In nature, brolgas kick off their strangely elaborate courtship by picking up grass and tossing it into the air, then catching it again in their beaks. They follow this up by leaping into the air, sometimes up to a metre high, with their wings out at full stretch. There’s much head-bobbing, wing-beating, trumpeting, bowing and strutting that follows.
Rather sweetly, once they have secured a partner, they mate for life.
Designed by Terrance Plowright in 1998, the fountain captures much of the energy of the brolga mating dance.
