Exploring Brimbank Park

A few weeks ago I decided to make more of an effort to explore Brimbank Park. It's quite close to home, but I hardly ever go there. I've been focusing on trying to see what insects and spiders I can find, and to my surprise, I've found quite a few! Here's some of the more interesting finds from several visits of the past few weeks.
