Heritage Bush Poles
Waroona’s Heritage Bush Poles are more than just art - they’re hand-carved stories standing tall. Spread across Waroona, Hamel, Preston Beach, and Lake Navarino Holiday Park, each pole was crafted by members of the local community, many of whom had never carved or painted before. The carvings reflect local industries and wildlife - from trout and marron to mining tools and red-tailed black cockatoos. Keep an eye out as you explore - can you spot them all?

Historic Lime Kiln
A true piece of history - the remains of an original lime kiln that was part of the Western Australian Portland Cement Company’s lime project that operated between 1919 and 1923. The lime kiln is one of the only remaining structures from the former townsite of Lake Clifton, which was developed as a company town by the Cement Company in 1920. About 100 metres into the walk is the ‘talking circle’, flanked with wooden seating and six stunning artworks that represent the six Noongar seasons by local artists Gloria and Karrie-Anne Kearing.
Location: Off Newnham Road, Lake Clifton

Lake Clifton Thrombolites
Hidden within Yalgorup National Park, the thrombolites of Lake Clifton are one of the world’s rarest natural wonders - ancient, living rock-like structures that offer a glimpse into Earth’s earliest days. Estimated to be over 2,000 years old, they form the largest thrombolite reef in the southern hemisphere. A scenic boardwalk lets you get up close to these formations, especially between January and May when water levels are low. Interpretive signage explains their incredible biological and cultural significance, making this a truly unforgettable stop.
Location: Mount John Road, Heron
