EXTERIOR LETTERS WALLS “Conventionally typoglycemic words are easier to unscramble when the first and latter letters of a word remain in place.”
66
TRANSPOSING LETTERS COMPONENTS “Switching letters close to each other, rather than those far apart, makes the word much easier to identify.”
67
PATTERN RECOGNITION “The visual world is perceived by the senses and then simultaneously constructed by the brain to make sense - based on pattern recognition, prior knowledge and experience.”
68
FUNCTION WORDS COMPONENTS REMAIN “Function words such as connectives and common prepositions should remain the intact, to help the reader.”
69
SIMULAR SOUNDS LOOKS AND RHYME “Typoglycemic words are easier to recognise when they still sound similar to the original word spelling, or even rhyme.”
70
PRESERVING DOUBLE LETTERS COMPONENTS “Preserving double letters within a word makes it easier to recognise than separating them in a typoglycemic word.”

At the time it was erected its suitability for the site came under close public scrutiny a. The mound portion of the gardens was open to the public in 1912 from 8am until sundown b. In 2016 the statue was stolen from the gardens however the rockery base where it once stood still remains a. The statue survived demolition after a widespread demonstration of public support took place a. Originally a central feature of the gardens until it was replaced in 1960 by the Bird of Fountains b. Absent for 40 years and then renovated and returned to the central northern fountain a. Bark was removed from the original tree with a stone axe to be used for canoes, shields, containers and shelters b. The stump of the original tree was preserved and re-erected in its original location Statue was originally intended to be erected in a small town in Victorian known as Rheole The structure was very similar to the “Temple of the Winds structure in the Botanical Gardens with its 10 columns instead of the normal 8 or 12 a. In 1960 the kiosk was damaged in a fire b. New kiosk built in 1964 a. Captain Cook never lived in the cottage, originally built in 1755 b. He instead arrived at Point Hicks when he visited Victoria 1770 Outlines of unidentified build form discovered on Hodgkinson’s map Outlines of unidentified rockery discovered on Hodgkinson’s map a. In this attempt 65 plaster cast statues were placed into the gardens inspired by replicas of roman sculptures as well as the addition of relocated sculptures from Cremorne Gardens b. in the 1930s when the government’s values changed, they no longer wanted a ‘prescriptive extension of the city’ but instead to imbed the initial plans of a picturesque landscape. c. The sculptures disappeared overnight just as the Yellow Peril did in 1981. In the 1800s the need for night-time security brought on the construction of a gate-keepers lodge in the south west corner of the gardens. As the fall of the land made this a flood prone site so it was demolished and shifted to the next contoured level.The water mains system on the site connects to fountains mostly located in the northern side. Even though this water comes all the way from Yan Yean Reservoir, rather than natural water collection on the site A gate was constructed around it to prevent public access The site was demolished and grassed over with nothing remaining except for a couple of crazy-paved planters and a flat area where the pavilion once stood
