Proudly sponsored by Frasers Property Australia, Bush Babes continues to be initiated, designed and bought to the community by a local mothers group based within the Brookhaven Estate. Babies, toddlers and kindy aged children meet every week, across two locations, to engage in quality nature play.

What a joy to be invited by a group of neighbours to facilitate a bush kindy. We connected, played and ate bush-tucker in the bushlands at the end of their street. A truly community lead experience.

A June school holiday program for local residents of Brookhaven Estate. We invited school aged children to turn an empty oval into a bush play wonderland. Children nature journaled, created feather and leaf crowns and got messy in the mud kitchen. It was nice to see both the young and older aged school children exploring play together.
