A new, easy-to-use printed guide and map invites you to discover the stories of the people, places and natural landscapes that shape the region.
Available at libraries, galleries, museums and selected tourism venues across the cities of Wanneroo, Joondalup and Stirling, The Stories of the Sunset Coast is a collaborative storytelling project that links lakes, galleries, reserves, cultural sites and heritage locations.
The guide includes an illustrative map of the Sunset Coast with short descriptive listings of each key site.
There are three different storytelling themes:
- People and Connections -The cultures, histories and communities that shaped the coastline.
- Land and Time – The ancient limestone, dunes and geological forces beneath our feet.
- Nature and Life – The thriving ecosystems and wildlife habitats that define the coastal environment.
Explorers can start anywhere on the map, follow their own path and visit as many or as little as they choose.
A complementary digital component, hosted on the Destination Perth website, builds on this experience, with an interactive map and more detailed information on each location.
“These places already exist and by connecting cultural sites, natural environments, heritage locations and geological features, we’re helping people see the Sunset Coast in a whole new light,” Wanneroo Mayor Linda Aitken said.
“Designed for curious, inquisitive explorers, the project invites both locals and visitors to deepen their connection with the region – whether rediscovering familiar landscapes or seeking meaningful new experiences.”
