Little Wonders
Fairies in a tree, a tiny Tudor village, and a river where the city begins.
A walk made for small explorers. Ola Cohn spent three years on her knees in Fitzroy Gardens carving fairies, kookaburras and koalas into a dying river red gum so that, as she put it, the fairies of Australia would have a home. A few paths away sits a model Tudor village hand-built in an English bomb-shelter and sent across the world as a thank-you. There's a cottage that came in 253 numbered crates from Yorkshire, a glasshouse that smells different every season, and a riverside park where the Wurundjeri have walked, fished and gathered for thousands of years. A short walk, on purpose — built around wonder rather than facts.
This walk is hand-built around a fixed sequence of stops. We keep the length steady so the magic lands.
