点评:I stopped when I saw the Memorial Gates, I was on my way out of town... I went for a walk though the park and it was really pleasant.
The trees near the memorial gates had crotchet blankets around them... clearly they were cold trees :) There is an amazing war memorial towards one end of the. park that is really worth stopping to look at. But there is more... there is Elvis statue, Jaffa the Astronaut and a mural. Another feature is the water fountain.
But the real intrigue in this park is what was once the Clarinda Fountain. Now a garden bed. Baroness Gardner of Parkes is the only Australian woman to date who has been elevated to the peerage, and only the second life peer who has taken a name from a place outside the United Kingdom. The Baroness is the daughter of Greg and Rachael McGirr and was born in Parkes as one of nine children. Her sister is Clarinda who died at a young age and the fountain in Cooke Park was erected in her memory.
翻译:当我看到纪念门时我停了下来,我正在出城的路上……我去公园散步,那真的很愉快。
纪念馆大门附近的树木周围环绕着钩形毛毯……很明显,它们是冷树 :) 纪念碑的一端有一座令人惊叹的战争纪念馆。真正值得驻足观赏的公园。但还有更多……还有猫王雕像、宇航员雅法和壁画。另一个特色是喷泉。
但这个公园真正吸引人的地方是曾经的克拉琳达喷泉。现在是花园床。帕克斯的加德纳男爵夫人是迄今为止唯一一位被提升为贵族的澳大利亚女性,也是第二位从英国以外的地方获得名字的贵族。男爵夫人是 Greg 和 Rachael McGirr 的女儿,出生在帕克斯,是九个孩子中的一个。她的姐姐克拉琳达早逝,库克公园的喷泉就是为纪念她而竖立的。
