Here is part 2 of A Few Minutes in South Austin. This is just a few minutes of a look at a SMALL portion of Zilker Park, in South Austin. This park is huge, people. 351 acres. The Rolling Stones played there recently. Also some scenes in the movie "Dazed and Confused" were reportedly filmed at Zilker Park.
The river you see is Barton Creek, and it spills out into Austin' Lady Bird Lake, which is another name for the Colorado River. We called President Lyndon Johnson's wife, Lady Bird. She helped to restore the native areas around Zilker and downtown Austin surrounding the Lake that we used to call, Town Lake.
