Panoramic view from the Symbolic Mountain at the Japanese garden in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia. One of the principles in designing Japanese gardens is adapting common elements, such as stones and water, to the conditions of the land. The Cowra garden is a kaiyū-shiki or strolling garden. The view takes in the gardens and the plains of the Cowra Shire across to the nearby mountains.
