Conrad Street is a beautiful quiet place where kids love to play. A street library is just another addition to this special place that we love to call home.
The artwork was inspired by a Donna Ashworth poem and reflects our shared love of natural places:
JOY COMES BACK
When you finally realise that joy
is less fireworks
more firefly
less orchestra
more birdsong
she will come back much more often
for joy will not fight
with the fast pace of this life
she is not in the shiny or the new
she breathes in the basic
shimmers in the simple
and dances in the daily to and fro
joy has been beckoning you
for many a year my friend
you were just too busy doing, to see
the very next time joy wraps
her quiet warmth around you
as the garden embraces your weary body
in its wildness
tip her a nod
you cannot force her to stay
but if you are a gracious host
joy comes back.
