Are you sure you weren't in Kyoto 😉 I swear, if there was no text I would think you were bang in the middle of Japan. I love the symbolism of bamboo and how it is used in the garden.

I didn't realize there was so much symbolism in Japanese Gardens. I'm glad I got to know a bit more, so I can appreciate them more when I get to one. It would have been nice if you had caught a tea ceremony!

I'm such a visual person that I tend to look at pictures first. When I saw your pictures which are absolutely beautiful btw I thought this was a place in Japan. It was until I started reading the article that I realized this is in Australia. Wow what an incredible job and space.

I have never visited a Japanese garden. I am not sure there is even one in the Caribbean. I have read about it and seen a lot of photos though. I did not know that there were so many elements that make up these gardens and was happy to learn the significance of each one. The Nerima Japanese Garden seems so peaceful and definitely piqued my interest in these types of gardens.

I absolutely *adore* Japanese gardens. I had no idea there was one in Ipswich!

Living in Northern NSW, southern QLD is much more accessible to me than the rest of my state, so I'll have to try and make a trek up there someday.

Your pictures reminded me of the lovely gardens in San Francisco. Have you been?

I feel the need to stop and read a book here. It looks every peaceful. I love the water elements of Japanese gardens. I might just have to visit if I ever make it to Aussieland.

Think of a Japanese garden and exactly these images come up in your mind. I have often wondered about the philosophy behind the architecture of Japanese gardens and seeing your post, I feel I want to read up more.

These are gorgeous! I never would have expected to see such gorgeous Japanese gardens in Australia. I'll have to make sure to visit these when I make it there, finally. Your pics are great!

In reply to Rachel Miller. The Chinese gardens sound lovely too, and the camping!

Having been to Japan for a summer I had the ability to visit many beautiful gardens like this. This particular one looks similar to one we visited in Kyoto near Arashiyama, the bamboo forest. I love how tranquil the gardens are and I often visit our local botanical gardens for inspiration or to relax and read a book. 🙂
