The Chinese Garden
Known as the Garden of Friendship, the Chinese Garden is an integral part of Darling Harbour, created by the New South Wales Government 10 years ago to recognise the importance of commercial and community ties with China. New South Wales is the sister state of Guangdong province in south-east China. The garden's design, by the Guangdong Landscaping Bureau, was a gift to Sydney from its Chinese sister city of Guangdong and embodies principles dating back to the 5th century. The Garden is a haven of calm in the heart of the city and the pavilion has become a Sydney landmark. It provides a graceful place to rest, rejuvenate and gain an insight into Chinese culture

The Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre - Cowra

Opened in 1979, the Japanese Garden has become Cowra's major tourist attraction. Designed by the internationally renowned landscape architect Ken Nakajima, the five hectare Garden follows the Kai-yu Shiki style of the Edo era that flourished in the 1600's. Of his Cowra garden design he has written: "The Japanese treasure nature and try to live with it. My Cowra garden takes this principle into consideration as a 'motto' and treasures all existing objects. In this respect, you will note that all gum trees and rocks on the site have been utilised in their original state." Streams cascade in waterfalls into two large ponds, while meandering paths reveal picturesque wooden bridges, a traditional Tea House, Arbor, Pottery, Pergola, Bonsai House, a Bonsho temple bell and sculptured hedges.

The Bonsai House contains many fine examples of miniature Japanese gardens and trees, while the Potter House has a resident potter producing a range of Japanese inspired tableware for purchase in the souvenir shop by visitors. In mid-October the Garden celebrates the cherry blossoms with Sakura Matsuri, a festival bringing hundreds of visitors to see demonstrations of the arts and crafts of Japan. It also contains a Restaurant and Gift Shop.

The Wah of Kung Fu - The Ch'i of Bonsai - Canberra
Kung-fu is a fighting art - an art of motion, of explosive power, and quite deadly speed. Yet, the student of Kung-fu has not reached her or his potential until she or he has understood and achieved harmony, or wah. As the student of bonsai seeks to help a tree achieve harmony, so the instructor in Kung-fu seeks to help a student understand and accept him or herself, so that he or she can live and move in harmony. As a tree which shows harmony can help the student of bonsai achieve peace, so can harmony with her or himself aid the student of Kung-fu achieve peace, and a martial artist at peace is the most effective fighter, for she or he fights only the opponent, and not themselves. - Sifu Neal Hardy, Fire Dragon Australia.
