Cowra Japanese Garden

A Japanese garden in the midst of an inland rural town in NSW, Australia, is probably the least expected find by state travellers passing through he former mining town of Bathurst.

Designed by a Japanese who is a renowned architect of several beautiful gardens around the world, the garden is well scrulptured to take advantage of the natural slopy landscape and a blended coexistence of native and Japanese plants.

Cockington Garden, Canberra

Miniature icons and wonders of the world

The entry tickets to the park are relatively expensive (except for students and seniors) considering the size of the garden and the display.

A sumptuous lunch saved the day. Highly recommended are the Shangtung Chicken and Penang fried kuay teow.

Cherry Season in Young NSW Early December 2008

The cherry picking festival is a narrow window of opportunity from late November to early December.

Black cherries are usually sweeter than red ones. But the birds and insects usually get to them before humans do. Enjoy!
