A decaying gateway stands at the entrance to Waratah Park. Overgrown foliage obscures the path, hinting at a forgotten past. Rusting metal frames a view into this abandoned site.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Wide hardwood floorboards run the length of an empty hall. The timber is dark, worn smooth, catching soft light from louvred windows along the right wall. Faded red paintwork clings to the window frames and door panels. Exposed roof beams angle upward to a peaked ceiling. A timber balustrade lines a stairwell opening near the centre of the floor. Beyond the glass, dense bushland presses close.

The series

Waratah Park

2017 · 24 photographs

Waratah Park sits on 13 hectares at the top of Cowan Creek, adjoining Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Between 1967 and 1969 it was the filming location for Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. 91 episodes were produced; the role of Skippy was played by between 9 and 15 different Eastern Grey Kangaroos. The series became Australia's first international television export, sold to the UK, Germany, Norway, the United States, and as Skippy le Kangourou in French Canada. After the Skippy production, the site operated as a wildlife tourist park until April 2007. The Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Duffys Forest Residents Association are now working to restore the bushland and the Ranger Headquarters film set.
