What people are saying:
This beautiful two-storey villa is in the middle of an Australian city park. It is unique and worth a visit. Introduced from Yorkshire, after careful restoration, it gives a glimpse of life in England in the 17th century. The kitchen garden and ivy are said to be brought from Yorkshire. The knowledgeable volunteers are happy to answer questions and provide information. You can try on a large shelf of costumes, and we saw many people like to try them that day.

Additional Information
Introduction
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.

Gosh! Although Captain Cook's cabin is not his real home, but his father built it, he occasionally visits it. However, as Australia's oldest building, it is worth visiting. Sitting in a comfortable environment and feeling the historical atmosphere, people have a good understanding of life in England in the late 18th century. highly recommended.
Cook's Cottage is located in Fitzroy Gardens in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria. This is a real hut, simple, unpretentious, even rough, with sloping roof tiles and stone walls, and the dark brown reveals the ancient vicissitudes of life. Captain James Cook (Captain James Cook, 1928-1779), a British Royal Navy officer, navigator, explorer, and cartographer. He was ordered to go to the Pacific Ocean three times and led the crew to be the first to land on the east coast of Australia and Hawaii. Europeans in the archipelago also set the record for the first time a European ship circumnavigated New Zealand and is a household name in Australia.
In the corner of the beautiful big park, it's actually mainly the appearance. For me, there is a kind of sentiment from postcards when I was in high school. The visitor center next to it sells souvenirs and coffee, as well as toilets. Captain Cook is a great pioneer of seafaring, and he has always been full of deep respect.
Captain Cook is famous for discovering Australia. Later people bought and relocated his parents’ house to Melbourne to form a tourist attraction. If you only visit the cottage, the scenery is very ordinary, but the park environment where the cottage is located is still good. Stop by when you visit Look at the cabin is good.
