If you're lucky growing up you'll find a place where imagination rules the day, where cities can be created among trees, you can build and own a hotel, and where adults are not welcome (and maybe even a little afraid to enter). There is a corner of South Arm known as "The Wattle Forest" which is such a place.
"Crazy kids
Wild Hair
Fun Everywhere"
Six word memoir by Owen (11 years)
"As you enter the Wattle Forest a new world begins. A world with banks, huts, jobs and even our own mini-Olympics.
Yells erupt as money finding missions have gone to a lot of trouble. The next thing we know Wattle Forest money is raining down from a tree. We notice that someone is missing and go back to find that someone is stuck up a tree again. We take the money back to the bank where the banker buries the money deep in a bush. We have our own money system: small pinecones are equal to $1, medium pinecones are $10 and huge pinecones are equal to $100".

"The flowers we collect. The signs we make.
That's why we love The Wattle Forest so much.
The interesting things we find in The Wattle Forest make us always come back. The songs we make up, like the Nature Song.
That's why we love The Wattle Forest so much."
