A Moment to Rest, Reflect, and Connect
Pause Places are thoughtfully crafted from locally sourced wood, rock, and plants by local artisans, with community input. Designed to offer a spot to rest, enjoy the view, connect with others, or play, they invite you to pause, unwind, and take in the moment.
What Are Pause Places?
Located in the heart of the Waratah-Wynyard municipality, Pause Places provide a tranquil spot to pause during your journey.
Thoughtfully designed and crafted from locally sourced materials, our Pause Places include log seats, rocks and native plants.
Whether you’re looking to relax, enjoy the beauty of nature, or let children explore and play, Pause Places are here to inspire moments of calm and connection.

Why We Created Pause Places
Funded by the Healthy Focus Grant from the Department of Health, this project is a collaboration between the Cradle Coast Authority and Waratah-Wynyard Council.
Pause Places aim to promote community well-being by offering welcoming spaces to rest, socialise, and appreciate our stunning natural surroundings.
Each location is designed to encourage relaxation, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with the environment.
