Over the road to the Boddington Arts Council you’ll discover exciting works from local artists available for purchase.
Travel through picturesque countryside through Marradong to St Albans Church, where Len Zuks has represented the pioneering history of Marradong in sculpture. Take a moment to enjoy the scenery and photo opportunities.
Drive through the rolling hills of Quindanning and enjoy lunch at the Quindanning Hotel, followed by a visit to Quindanning Hall and another of Len’s works: the Gateway sculpture.
It’s then off to Williams to browse local arts & crafts at the Rustic Rainbow and Williams Woolshed. Notice the streets lined with cut-out characters from local artists Georgina Patterson and Sharon Moore. During the Dryandra Makers Trail you can visit the acclaimed Tromp Studios. Millbrook on Albany Highway also hosts an art exhibition on the weekend of the Williams Gateway Expo.
