Yarloop - Take the SW Hwy out of Perth and pick up the trail at Johnston Rd, Yarloop.
For many years Yarloop was the home of a large timber mill and steam workshop. The timber mill has since closed and tragically the rail workshops were lost in the 2016 bush fires, but the mosaic entry statement is a reminder of the towns rich history.
It is safe to pull over on the side of the road to view this artwork.
Head back to the SW Hwy or follow the map through surrounding farmland to the next stop; Cookernup.

Cookernup - The tiny community of Cookernup is accessed via Riverdale Rd (Opposite the Logues Brook Dam turnoff)
This beautiful art work, created by local artist Anthea Ward, depicts the tree lined streets and local fauna. The colours are representative of the changing landscape through the four seasons.
There is a small gravel parking bay provided and but no toilets.
From here, continue east along Riverdale Rd to the SW Hwy and on to Harvey

There is a lovely mosaic artwork at the front of the Harvey Visitor Centre created by local high school students with some guidance from Anthea Ward who created many of the other mosaics and murals around the shire.
While you are here, you may like to take a stroll around the Stirling's Cottage Garden's located behind the Visitor Centre or purchase some refreshments from the cottage kitchen. Public toilets and plenty of parking are available at this location.

Continue down the SW Hwy to Harvey and turn into Uduc Rd (pronounced, 'you duck') The Harvey entrance statement, another of Anthea Ward's works is a short distance down the road. Harvey is home to lots of milking cows, orange orchards and the Harvey Fresh Juice factory. The entry statement fittingly includes cows, oranges and grapes, although since this piece was created there are not so many grape growers left. Safe parking is available on the side street.
Drive a little bit further down Uduc Rd and park at the shops. One side of the road features several large murals featuring past and present aspects of life in the Harvey Shire and the Harvey 'Take Your Seat' decorated concrete sofa.
The murals, created by Anthea Ward, are absolutely stunning and incorporate small sections of mosaic work and snippets of history.
Follow the map to Brunswick or head back to the SW Hwy and head to Brunswick from there

The newest addition to the trail is this amazing colourful mosaic work completed by Anthea Ward with the assistance of local school children. If you look close you will see the children's' handprints in the petals of the huge colour burst flowers.
Heading south, there is plenty of room to pull over on the side of the road to view this masterpiece up close.
From here continue on into the middle of town

An amazing life size trooper, in full uniform riding his galloping horse. You will find this stunning piece out the front of the Brunswick Town Hall on the west side of the Hwy
The southern entry statement to Brunswick depicts the black and white friesian milking cows heading home across the paddock to the milking shed each day.
From Brunswick follow the map to Clifton Park

The Binningup entry statement is constructed from 300 hand sculpted clay fish sitting on a stainless steel 'boat'. Each fish is hand painted in tones of yellow and gold, making a stunning sight as you come into the town.
There is a car park just up the road where you can safely park and walk back to have a close up look at the fish.
Head back to the Forest Hwy and north towards Myalup

This tiny coastal town is a popular fishing spot with locals and those who holiday there, so fittingly the Myalup entry statement depicts some of the varieties of fish that are frequently caught there.
Parking here is tricky so make sure you are right off the road.
This is the last of the mosaics and murals. From here you can either head back to Yarloop and home from there or continue north towards Mandurah.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
