In five secret locations throughout Mandurah and the wider Peel region, this free event invites visitors to hunt for Dambo's Giants - troll-like creatures each five metres tall - starting with a clue to the locations from the Mandurah Visitor Centre.
Visitors will then need to explore the region to locate each giant, collecting a special symbol at each site along the way.
All symbols need to be entered into a special codebreaker at the visitor centre to reveal the location of the final secret giant.
Dambo's practice celebrates the diversity, beauty and importance of the natural world. All of his sculptures and installations out of recycled materials.
He has designed Giants of Mandurah as a game of self-discovery that celebrates and encourages stewardship and protection of the Peel region's environment by its traditional owners, the Bindjareb people.
As well as Denmark and Australia, Dambo's work can be seen in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Lebanon, China, South Korea and the US.
See a map of the locations here.
The Mandurah public art event is initiated and produced by FORM - Building a State of Creativity Inc, and further information including tips, resources and a map can be found through the Giants of Mandurah website.
The Giants of Mandurah can be explored until November 12, 2023 in Mandurah and Subiaco.
