Picnic Grounds landscape Dry susuki grass pushing throughAbandoned picnic tables and benches sit beneath the bushland canopy at Waratah Park, Duffys Forest, NSW, the former wildlife park that grew from the filming location of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Vegetation has pushed steadily back through the cleared ground since the park closed in 2006. Where visitors once gathered, the bush is quietly reasserting itself. Part of the Waratah Park series.
