In a small space, we can see the deep love between heaven and earth

🏘️ Model Tudor Village 📍 Location: Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne, next to Cook Cottage and Spanish Greenhouse ⏳ Core Story: - Warm Origin: Handmade by British retiree Edgar Wilson in 1948 to thank Melbourne for its material assistance to London during World War II (codenamed "Melbourne Food Basket" operation). - Symbolic meaning: Reproducing the rural landscape of Kent, England, the seven miniature buildings include: ✓ St. Dunstan's Church (including stained glass windows) ✓ Queen Anne-style school ✓ Replica of Shakespeare's former residence ✓ Thatched houses and mills - Miracle of details: - Brick wall textures, window lattice carvings, and mini chimneys are all hand-carved; - The scale is exactly 1:12, and the door knocker is only the size of a grain of rice; - Wilson's inscription is engraved on the fence: "To the people of Melbourne - your generosity in the dark days." ✨ Viewing experience - Free opening: You can watch it all day through the glass fence, and the warm yellow lights at night light up the "village", just like a fairy tale world. - Best time: dusk (when the lights are just on) or after rain (the brick color is brighter). - Hidden Easter eggs: Look for the miniature tombstone hidden behind the church, engraved with the name of Wilson's dog "Rusty". #summervacay #thingstodo #familytravel #travel #myitinerary
