Do your warm-ups and put on your jersey... Open Air PlayUP is back for the school holidays! Come and enjoy a carnival of outdoor play to celebrate the opening of Behind the Lines 2024: No guts, no glory.
Join us in the Senate Courtyard to hurdle, race and hop your way through all the activities on offer. Once you've gone for gold, you can settle down in a comfy seat with a book, build with blocks, or relax as a family.
You can pack a half-time picnic (without nuts) and bring the whole family down to enjoy the fun. Don't forget to bring your bucket hats and a water bottle.

The PlayUP exhibition is open every day 9am to 4:30pm, rain, hail or shine.
