Tour the yard, explore the history of outback artists, play games, have a laugh and take plenty of great pics!
Between touring, dreaming, and working around Australia, the vision slowly grew.
In 2019, with donated materials, labour, and endless belief, the house was rebuilt. Uncle Winston and Aunty Glenda led the charge, William Crawford came on deck to lift and keep spirits high, and friends and fans from near and far — painted, drilled, lugged, sweated and followed along in varying stages of amusement.
Then came 2020. The world shut down — and the building began.
A call went out across the country: “Send us your too-good-to-chuck but never-gunna-use building bits.”
Artists, craftspeople and friends continue to add their story. The House carries a little bit of everyone.
The Crackup House is now
A museum to outback performers
A celebration of outback artists
So far we have repurposed vintage caravans, second hand door handles and power poles, reclaimed gates and amusement ride seats, rescued nuts, bolts and screws galore. We are always adding and creating at Crackup Corner, so don’t throw out that too good to throw away but you’re never going to use thing, send us an email or text and let us know what it is.
The Crackup Sisters Arts Precinct has been built with HUGE support knowledge and skill.
Made possible because of many and in particular; Winton and Glenda Williams, William Crawford, Dave and Lynne Stretton, Jamie and Matt Webster and Bianca Mackail.
Funding supported by the Queensland Government, Department of Tourism; Building Bush Tourism Fund for the Dustarena and Arts Queensland’s Spaces and Places fund for The Yard precinct.
