Our great big bandicoot is coming out of hiding. Come and say hi!

Created from natural materials by artists Darryl Cordell, Vanessa Ellis and Trinia Gaskell, this beautiful sculpture likes to have somewhere cosy to sleep – just like the last remaining population of southern brown bandicoots in urban Melbourne, which have found a refuge in Cranbourne Gardens.

Explore a bandicoot safe city with Wild City by artist Kathy Holowko - a mini urban landscape where wild animals are considered citizens and delight in watching award-winning theatre ensemble, Born in a Taxi, perform their southern brown bandicoot inspired performance.

See the world as a bandicoot does, as you join in craft and science activities to uncover the wonderful world of our native marsupials - and learn about the best ways we can protect our nosey neighbours.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there, over the weekend help us celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the award-winning Australian Garden with a jam-packed program of walks, talks, performances and hands-on activities to celebrate the People, Plants and Place!
