Back Steps sliding door Yubari Kanko KaihatsuTimber steps descend from a deck at the rear of the Ranger Headquarters, the 1967 timber frame building at the heart of Waratah Park, Duffys Forest. Red painted weatherboard walls rise behind them, and brick paving below shows years of cracking and stain. Bush presses in from all sides, reclaiming the margins of a site that once hosted one of Australia's most widely broadcast television productions. Part of the Waratah Park series.
