We are all getting into the festive spirit here at Cockington Green, Leif and Petal decided to be helpful elves today and mow the lawns. I’m not sure how helpful Leif is being using a mower that small but it’s the little things that count.

I wonder where these two think they are going in our Cockington Green Mini. Hopefully they will be staying out of trouble at there next destination in the gardens.

We are trialing touch free buttons for our interactive displays. New technology is now available for our team to run a test setup on our fairy garden train. Our interactive displays have taken a beating with constant sanitising. Things are looking great so far, we are looking to roll out the new friendly buttons over the next few months. We call them friendly buttons because you need to wave at them to make them work. #cockingtongreen #visitcanberra #canberra #australia
