Introduction
Cockington Gardens, located approximately 15 kilometers from Canberra city center, is a unique little world operated by the Doug & Brenda family for 40 years. This exquisite park has won numerous provincial and national tourism awards and features a collection of English Yorkshire villages, a Gothic building, Kentish Oust House, a church, an English pub, and Stonehenge. There is also a small community with a miniature version of an English village that vividly portrays the lives of its inhabitants, including going to church, playing cricket, going to the pub, and herding sheep. In the exquisite gardens, visitors can enjoy nearly 30,000 varieties of flowers and plants personally planted by the park's owners. In addition, the park's newly built International Miniature Museum is another highlight, showcasing more than 30 iconic buildings from around the world, unfortunately there is no Chinese landscape currently. The park is also equipped with many electric switches that start trains to race and windmills to spin. Additionally, there are unique attractions such as a steam train railway in the park, which is very interesting. Address 11 Gold Creek Road, Nicholls ACT 2913, Australia
