The humble Aussie backyard has been pushed into the spotlight in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Just like the home it shares the property with, this cubby house has character charm that will be envied by all the other kids in the neighbourhood.
A sloping green roof with small chimney and a wraparound deck make it look and feel more like a home than a makeshift cubby.
It’s also ideally positioned between a tree and the garage along the back fence to ensure the grassed area is free to be used for other activities.
