Sad how few know it purpose or what it originally philosophy is after a British gardener was employed by council who changed it greatly into a formal British garden. Which it is not it was designed by Lisgar as a world meditation garden reflecting Asia Indonesian Japanese Korean Chinese Siam Mediterranean English rose garden. The fish ponds the same fish.differernt aspects of meditation and the rock over looking the valley Aboriginal meditation...one day some one will read the gifting documents and plans and restore it. I attended lecturers there as a child given on warm summer evenings as he explained the great religions meditation styles and purpose....
