Are You Home James?

Let's go and see if Captain James Cook (Discoverer of the east coast of Australia) is home today. This is his house in the middle of Fitzroy Gardens, it was built in 1755 but was rebuilt several times in England and later purchased by Russell Grimwade in 1933.Russell Grimwade dismantled and shipped the house to Melbourne in 1934 to be reconstructed in the Fitzroy Gardens as a gift to the people of Victoria.
The cottage has since undergone two restorations and furnished with materials appropriate to the 18th century appearance surrounded by it's own gardens. I could just peered over the low fence to snap a picture of the vegetable garden in the backyard (I didn't want to pay the entry fee).
On the side of the cottage where you can see the bedroom window upstair I took another photo hoping to see James Cook himself looking out at the curious tourists outside. Well I guess he's not at home today..

..or there he is standing in the front garden, immortalized in bronze! How's it going Jimmy?! What's with all these people gate crushing your house everyday?
