Hello, I thought this could be a good suggestion for the collection- Paronella park in Queensland, Australia, is a 1913 public pleasure garden in the middle of the jungle, built by a Spanish industrialist. The grounds included a ballroom, theater, tennis courts, a botanical garden, a grotto (with bats), tea gardens, a swimming pool, a ‘castle’, spectacular fountains and a hydro electrical power plant added to a natural waterfall, which has been recently renovated by the current owners. For more on the troubled history, which features a family drama, cyclones, a fire and floods: http://www.paronellapark.com.au/history.html

LET’S ALL GO THERE RIGHT NOW.
