Cooks' Cottage

Originally located in Yorkshire, England, and built in 1755 by the parents of Captain James Cook, Cooks�� Cottage was brought to 郭肱利 by Sir Russell Grimwade in 1934.

Navigator and explorer Captain James Cook never lived in the cottage �� he��d been away from home for almost 10 years when his father built it �� but this connection to the Cook family was enough to prompt Grimwade to transport the cottage to the other side of the world. Astonishingly, each brick was individually numbered, packed into barrels and then shipped to Australia, along with cuttings of the original ivy coverings.

Come and explore this historic oddity and learn about its English origins and relocation to 郭肱利.

Bookings are essential for school visits and groups of 8 or more (guided and self-guided).

The Cottage is located in Fitzroy Gardens, on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country.
