Spotlight on . . . the Giants of Mandurah

Acclaimed Danish artist Thomas Dambo creates larger-than-life sculptures from scrap wood, pallets and discarded furniture.

His latest works can be seen in one of Western Australia’s most spectacular wetland environments as part of an interactive game.

The Giants of Mandurah trail invites visitors to discover hidden giant sculptures in an estuary twice the size of Sydney Harbour.

Dambo has hidden five largerthan-life wooden sculptures, which each took between 500 and 1000 hours to make, throughout Mandurah and the wider Peel Region.

Beginning at the Mandurah Visitor Centre, the exhibition encourages visitors to explore the region and collect code-breaker symbols. Visitors are provided with a map and directions to track down the wooden trolls, then uncover the location of the sixth secret Giant.

In Western Australia, an hour south of Perth, Mandurah is known for its outdoor experiences between beaches, bushland, waterways and protected wetlands.

Thomas Dambo’s Giants of Mandurah is open until November 2023. Visit giantsofmandurah.com.au.
