Mandurah Giants!

Created by world renowned recycle artist Thomas Dambo, the Mandurah Giants are beyond incredible! Each Giant took around 750 hours to build, and each have their own names and stories.

We are yet to visit the Subiaco Giant, Bille Bob, but will get there some time in the holidays! 

The story of the Giants is set up like a treasure hunt, beginning at Mandurah Visitor Centre. I will try to keep from posting spoilers, only what can be found on the official website. Here are our photos and a snippet of our experience. 

Little Lui.

How incredible is he?!!

Start at Black Swan Lake in Lakelands. The walk is around 45mins, remember sunscreen, bring water, comfortable shoes and insect repellant. Be mindful of ticks. This is one of the easier walks.

Santi Ikto!!

Santi Ikto is hidden in Halls Head. 

Around a 20min walk, it’s pretty easy, but there are some steep sections. Be mindful of local wildlife here (read: snakes) and again, sunscreen, comfortable shoes and water! 

Isn’t he just glorious?!!

Sebas Song!

This Giant is in Wannanup, he’s best seen from the water, but as you can see here- he is just as magnificent from land!

We were lucky enough to see dolphins having a play in the water when we visited!

Another 20min walk, but this one probably one of the easiest! Although the usual sunscreen, water, comfy shoes is recommended. 

The children would have been happy to sit and watch the windsurfers for hours !

Vivi Cirkelstone!

Vivi was our favourite Giant!!! We were fortunate enough to see her before some disgusting excuses for human beings burnt her down. She was damaged beyond repair.

She was on the Coodanup Foreshore and was the most easily accessible giant in Mandurah.

We were treated to a glorious sunset on our adventure! 

She will be missed!

Jyettes Hytte!

This is the secret giant!! And the only clues I can give you, are that it is the longest walk! By far! You will need water! And sunscreen! And really comfy shoes! 

But you are repaid with some natural beauty, some stunning scenery, and amazing wildlife! 

The Christmas spiders make a huge canopy of web all around you, if you are the first here you will need a stick to make yourself a path. 

I will update when we finally see Bille Bob! But in the meantime, enjoy the amazing adventure that we are lucky enough to have here! Learn about the culture and respect the artwork and the land/waterways where it’s built!

 

Over and out,
