Understory Art & Nature Trail

Wasn't sure if this was going to be me but I did enjoy this spot.Follow us Sweet-Az-RV'n on YT

The quality and ambience of this sculpture walk was a real surprise - worth a detour to visit. Get the useful guide from the front desk - and walk the right way around the loop!

This is an amazing place to visit. The joining of nature and art. I felt like a kid on a treasure hunt as we followed the trail and the art unfolded behind ever bend nook and cranny. What an amazing story honouring the community's rise from the ashes. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.

5star+ volunteer initiative! Ambling through this thoughtful and thought inspiring art trail in the forest really makes you slow down, look around, listen and appreciate your surroundings. There are secret pieces of art everywhere when you start to look! Entry with the audio tour is well worth the extra few dollars to hear about the artists stories and inspiration. The 1.2km bush track is wide and level so the walk is not strenuous. You walk through different aspects of the forest - open areas, vines, tea tree and larger trees. This is a children friendly experience too, as they are free to touch and interact, looking at the intricacies of some of the artwork and playing with others. Allow at least 45 minutes to an hour to meander through the circuit featuring more than 60 art pieces created by over 40 artists. Access from the Visitor Centre.

The highlight of the Manjimup trip, extremely creative. You can spend half a day looking for the artwork hidden in crevices and trees and the kids are thoroughly occupied. It is a pity that it's not marketed well.

Have driven through the area many times yet never knew this was here. So delighted to eventually discover it July 2022. There was a $10 per adult entry fee to do the 1.2km walk via the Visitor's Centre, but well worth the price. So many creations to encounter, all with more or less something to engage the imagination. The walk took us about 45 minutes.Most of the pieces show some level of decay from being in the bush (some since 2006), but that's part of what makes this type of art alive".Apparently you can do the walk with an audio track to listen to. Maybe that's something we'll have to go back for."

Needs more maintenance. I think when it first opened, it would have been better. Lots of the art has deteriorated and the brochure hasn’t been reprinted since 2007 so it doesn’t include the newer art. It is still a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t go out of your way to see it.

Fantastic little walk. Really enjoyed all the new art pieces that have been added. $10 ticket fee but worth the price

Bushwalk with some fun art pieces. Maintenance is clearly required for many of the pieces.We felt the $15/adult entry fee was a bit steep for the experience in comparison to other experiences in the South West.(A fee of $8.50-$10 per adult person would be far more suitable)

Very interesting 1.3km walk through the bush land with Karri ,Jarrah and other trees and also a variety of native plants. We had a well documented booklet explaining the various sculptures and other points of interest, the sculptures in the trees were amazing. Definitely the entry fee was worth the experience.
