Station Entrance cathcart a collapsed office chairThe concrete entrance frame of Waratah Park crumbles at its edges, rusted steel showing through where the render has fallen away. Weeds push through the platform where visitors once arrived to tour the wildlife park that grew from a 1967 television set. The park operated from January 1970 until 2006, when it closed for good. Part of the Waratah Park series.
