Busby's Pond is a large pond in the middle of Centennial Park which is home to many waterfowl. The pond is named after John Busby, Chief Surveyor, who in 1824 was responsible for finding an alternative water supply for Sydney's Tank Stream. He suggested a tunnel running from the freshwater swamps, that were located in this area, to Hyde Park in the city. The tunnel became known as Busby's Bore.
