Melbourne - Fitzroy Gardens

 
Fitzroy Gardens and the neighboring Treasury Gardens were the earliest public gardens in Melbourne. The gardens were designed by James Sinclair, who had previously worked for the Tsar in St Petersburg; the paths are laid out in the pattern of the Union Jack. In Fitzroy Gardens are Captain Cook's Cottage (said to be his parents' cottage, brought here from Yorkshire in 1935), which contains an exhibition on the great navigator, and a model Tudor village.
Address: Fitzroy Gardens, Wellington Parade, East Melbourne, VIC 3002, Australia
