The Corner: the great Australian backyard

The sprinkler is sprinkling on your feet
the lawn mower buzzing from across the street
bats are sleeping in the mango tree
And it’s all in our backyard.

There are possums, cane toads and lorikeets
An esky, a pool, a breather from the heat
A Hills Hoist that is chock full of sheets.
And it’s all in our backyard

The Corner is a creative play space for under 8s, their family, friends and carers. Open every day from 10am-3pm, you can join us between 10am and 12noon for a play date with our arts-worker team.
