If you are visiting Resthaven Bellevue Heights, be sure to take a look at the public artwork created by Gerry McMahon โ€” a finishing touch of the recent $36m site redevelopment. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Titled 'Push Me Higher', Gerry says that the sculpture 'reflects the leafy green backdrop and home to native wildlife and embraces the connection between generations.' ๐Ÿ’—

'One may imagine the young girl saying, "push me higher!" as her grandmother pushes her on the swing. Above them both are a couple of kookaburras and a koala, perched high in the tree looking on in bemusement.' ๐Ÿจ
