Set in old-growth karri, marri and jarrah forest, it features more than 50 site-specific artworks and sculptures by local and regional artists, complemented by an audio guide with stories, music and poetry. Developed as a community project, it blends art, nature and storytelling to interpret the southern forests.

Along the trail are more than 50 sculptures and installations integrated into the forest, each with an audio story accessible via a hired audio player from the Northcliffe Visitor Centre. The setting is tranquil forest understory with interpretive signage, seating points and opportunities for nature observation and photography.
