What a wonderful day down at the warehouse! This was an amazing day designed by the fantastic Clare Walton (PhD) extending on her junkyard playground work. We shut down the carpark to make space for local kids to construct what they think life in Marrickville will look like in 2050. It was great to spend the day doing focused work with kids and seeing what they could fabricate. All the kids where so excited about their structures, diving into details and building out this imaginary world. This project was funded by the Inner West council and timber was supplied by the lovely folks at Among the Trees. Hopefully we will be able to do more projects like this as interest in risky play is growing!

Reverse Garbage has made it Canberra! Its been a long time in the making but we finally had our first run of programming at Goodies Junction! We did the RG classics: Warehouse Tour, Big Box City, and Loose Parts Play. The team had a great time working with the kids in Vinnies' Day Camps, and the kids were so creative! There will be more images to come on the Reverse Garbage Cooperative Ltd instagram. We are excited to continue delivering programs for the Vinnies' community, and are making plans to expand to the Canberra area!
