Thank you, addy.
I've only been to the Cowra Japanese Gardens once in my life, when I was about 10, but the feeling of the place is easy to recall -- especially in contrast with a visit to the war cemetery there. I remember my parents -- both olympic-class racists
-- speaking with rare respect for the Japanese POWs involved in the Cowra Breakout. It's funny what stays with you in life.

It could be worse
