"Chinese Garden of Friendship" Sydney Travelogue by dracko

This garden should definitely be on your must-visit list if you come to Sydney. It is a wonderful combination of beauty, peace, and tranquility. The gurgling stream, cascading waterfalls, and traditional landscaping and design the likes of which are exceedingly rare outside China make up the garden. It is not a very big garden, but you can easily lose yourself there, walking the paths, exploring, or just sitting on a boulder by one of the ponds, taking in the sunshine, the koi, the beauty of the place, and just contemplating life in general.

This Dragon Rock is one of several located in the Lake of Brightness, in the middle of the garden.

There's more in the park than just trees, sculpture, and koi. These guys like to come out and sun themselves on a warm day. They are very friendly, so don't be shy, and do say hi!
