 | Southern Art and Craft Trail
The Art Trail is an annual event coordinated by ArtsouthWA in the October school holidays. You will have the opportunity to visit open studios, galleries, wineries, restaurants and other exciting and different venues and see displays of some of the outstanding art and craftwork created in the Great Southern. Many of the studios are not normally open to the general public, so it is a great opportunity to see artists at work as well as some outstanding exhibitions. There will be two separate trails: Denmark only, and the Great Southern trail. |

| Southern Forest Sculpture Walk
A nationally unique cultural tourism attraction featuring a 1.2km walk trail through pristine karri, jarrah and marri forest. Permanent and ephemeral sculptures are located intermittently along the trail. Stories, poetry and music are included in a range of audio tours. All artworks were created specifically for the site by renowned artists and celebrate the cultural and natural heritage of the region. The Sculpture Walk was conceived and developed by the Northcliffe community over two and a half busy years. It is now managed by a not for profit community group - Southern Forest Arts. |
