We are still buzzing from Saturday’s launch of our brand new Garden Gallery at the Northcliffe Visitor Centre & Public Library

We had a special guest travel all the way from the in Canberra. Curator Leanne Santoro joined us to officially inaugurate an incredible new resident of our forest: Lisa Roet's - Orangutan Foot. 🦍👣

This striking piece will live at the entrance to our iconic Understory trail, a symbol of the world-class art we are lucky enough to have right here in our own backyard. This trail belongs to all of us. Whether you’re popping over from Quinninup, driving down from Manjimup or Pemberton, or heading inland from Windy Harbour, this is your artistic sanctuary to explore, enjoy, and take pride in. Come wander the new Garden Gallery, find the Orangutan Foot and connect with nature through our local regional artists.

Here's a little sneak peak with Leanne and Southern Forest Arts- Artistic Director Sinclair giving us a little tour. There are dozens more sculptures to explore along the trail, which is usually fun for all ages. So bring the family along for a creative adventure.
