Ye Olde (Miniature) England At Cockington Green Gardens

Think a big miniature golf course without the golf. An elaborate model train set without the trains. OK, one train. Cockington Green Gardens in Canberra is a cute, throwback type of attraction, just lovingly detailed model after model of examples of iconic English architecture.

Here's Lavenham, known for its leaning buildings.

Quaint. Cockington village, the namesake for the gardens. Modern village example, a row of council houses, a style quickly built after WWII.

There's that train, doing the commute around the lake.

A little gentleman's cricket match on the village pitch. Country church wedding.

Ole! Attending a CG (Cockington Green) FC game.

Cute details. Commerce on an early canal. Getting rough in a golf game.

No miniature of England is complete without a little Stonehenge. With picnicking friars.

Building With Lego Bricks At Questacon

Questacon is a science, children's museum in Canberra and it frequently hosts cool shows for kids of all ages. Lego is always cool.

Solar system with nifty cutaways.

Adorable dog in space. Laika, is that you? Adorable human in space. Yuri Gagarin, is that you?

Great moments in bridge engineering.

Mission control in Houston with giant, red phones. There was a great section of women pioneers in various scientific fields. Who knew that famed actress Hedy Lamarr was crucial to the development of radio signals and modern Wi-Fi? Look it up!

Getting arty, trippy. Some animal illustrations and 3D illusions.
