To commemorate the discoverers of Australia: the famous British navigator James Cook, the Australian industrialist Sir Russell bought Captain Cook's parents in the former residence of Yorkshire, England, as a gift to the Melbourne citizens. Captain Cook’s Cabin is therefore the only building in Melbourne that was truly built in the 18th century. In fact, Captain Cook has been exploring the unknown land for the rest of his life, and he probably never stepped in this former residence in Yorkshire.

Captain Cook's cabin is located in Fitzroy Park in downtown Melbourne. It's a real cabin. It's simple, simple, even rough, with sloping roofs, tiled walls and stone walls. Dark Brown reflects ancient vicissitudes. James Cook was born in this cottage in Yorkshire, England, in 1728. When Melbourne celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1934, Sir Russell, a well-known Australian industrialist, paid 800 pounds to buy Captain Cook's former residence in Britain as a gift to Melbourne citizens. The former residence was carefully dismantled and each building material was numbered and packed in 253 boxes with a total weight of 150 tons. It was transported from Britain to Melbourne by sea and then assembled as it was. Captain Cook is known as the founding father of Australia. The visitors here are local residents and tourists.

Then, two-dimensional codes on tickets are scanned outside the railings of the gate. The cabin is small, bedrooms and supplies are kept as they are. Information and introductions are stored in the downstairs exhibition hall. Staff wearing clothes at that time are also photographed and explained on campus.
Captain Cook's cabin was situated in the quiet green surrounded by open lawns, shaded trees and picturesque gardens. The hut is small and simple. Little wonder, in this cabin, a great navigator was born, which created a magical history of exploration and created a miracle of the birth of the new continent in the South Pacific. This is my second time here. After eight years, there are still some changes in the surrounding area. For example, the mailbox seems to be moving, the tourist consultation office is rich in content, and coffee can be served in it. If you want to buy tickets for a visit to the cottage, you will be served by a lecturer.

The hut is surrounded by the tree irrigation wall carefully pruned by the local people. There are trees and some flowers and plants in the courtyard. The hut consists of three parts. The one on the left is a one-storey house, the second-storey building in the middle, and the one on the right is a one-sided house.
Few fairy tale places for girls, but cloudy days, so it's not so beautiful, but it's worth visiting. There are all kinds of plants to see if it's rainy. It's really a walk to see flowers.
It was raining when I arrived, but I still like the super girl here very much. I didn't realize that the pink Christmas flowers were very interesting and now they have red leaves and they are beautiful to see.
What really attracted me was the flower house beside the hut, which was small in size and had many kinds of flowers. Every flower bloomed so delicately and beautifully. With the European-style iron decorative bridge, it attracted many passers-by tourists to visit and take photos.
Captain Cook was the first person to discover the continent of Australia. In memory of the father of Australia, the Australians moved Captain Cook's house in Melbourne intact in England.
