The Shadow World

Perth Museum & Art Gallery
Thursday to Sunday

Amazing installation at the museum – the natural world comes alive with silhouettes of mammals that were once commonplace here. There’s the suggestion that our mammals on the endangered list might no longer be around in time to come. The silhouettes have a ‘cave-painting’ effect. The Shadow World must for all ages.

 

Willowgate Activities

Willowgate has a variety of activities this month, both on and off the water: try kayaking, archery, bushcraft, paddleboard taster sessions and more.

It’s just a couple of miles away, so very handy too.
