Western Australian Art Along The Perth-Margaret River Route
Prevelly, Busselton, Bunbury, Mandurah in Western Australia - August 2019

| The "Egg" at Mandurah Marina |
River, Prevelly, Busselton, Bunbury & Mandurah. Along the way we stopped to visit several interesting spots where we got to appreciate some artwork at randomn places. Below are many of the paintings we saw, click on the respective photo for a better enlarged view. Due to photography angle, and for presentation purposes, many of photos have been cropped and edited to compensate for low lighting. It is better to go there and see these artworks for yourself. Enjoy!

Interesting artwork made from recycled materials by Karen Lee Sibly seen on the walls of the White Elephant at Gnarabup Beach. More of her artwork can be seen at The Store @ gnarabup. were. This one is a deep sea fish made from old forks, a wine bottle opener, wires and discarded wood. It's chasing a poor little fish made from an old key!
