Beautiful place. Peaceful, idyllic. Golf buggy hire made it possible for me to enjoy the gardens (with physical restrictions )
Centre of tranquility. It's far better than described. Best to go during cooler days, unless you can bear the hot sun "smiling" on you. Reminded me of my trip to Japan.Also grab the $2 food bag for fish and ducks. You'll be the ducks' superstar.
The common saying, He regards a camel as a horse with a swelled back, trivial of itself, may be used in illustration of greater matters. Men are wont to attribute an existence only to such things as they daily see with their own eyes, and they marvel at whatsoever, appearing before them at one instant, vanishes at the next. And yet it is not at the sprouting and falling of foliage, or at the metamorphosis of insects that they marvel, but only at the manifestations of the supernatural world; though of a truth, the whistling of the wind and the movement of streams, with nothing to set the one in motion or give sound to the other, might well be ranked among extraordinary phenomena. We are accustomed to these, and therefore do not note them. We marvel at devils and foxes: we do not marvel at man. But who is it that causes a man to move and to speak?--to which question comes the ready answer of each individual so questioned, _I_ do. This I do, however, is merely a personal consciousness of the facts under discussion. For a man can see with his eyes, but he cannot see what it is that makes him see; he can hear with his ears, but he cannot hear what it is that makes him hear; how, then, is it possible for him to understand the rationale of things he can neither see nor hear. Whatever has come within the bounds of their own ocular or auricular experience men regard as proved to be actually existing; and only such things.34 But this term experience may be understood in various senses. For instance, people speak of something which has certain attributes as _form_, and of something else which has certain other attributes as _substance_; ignorant as they are that form and substance are to be found existing without those particular attributes. Things which are thus constituted are inappreciable, indeed, by our ears and eyes; but we cannot argue that therefore they do not exist. Some persons can see a mosquitos eye, while to others even a mountain is invisible; some can hear the sound of ants battling together, while others again fail to catch the roar of a thunder-peal.
Nice gardens. Good to just walk and relax in. Worth a visit. There is a cafe here but I would go into town for food.
Definitely worth stopping in foe a break on our recent road trip to the Hunter Valley. Beautiful space. Japanese gallery is wonderful.
