Margaret River Sculpture Park and Wood Be Good Woodcraft Gallery

The Park is based on the Japanese aesthetic of "Wabi Sabi", which embraces the beauty of the natural form and the concepts of imperfection, incompleteness, modesty and simplicity.

The Sculpture Park is the creation of local master craftsman and chainsaw artist, Brendan Booth, who draws his inspiration from 25 years of life in the South West. Brendan is passionate about the region's landscapes and timbers, and is particularly drawn to using Western Australian hardwood, including jarrah and sheoak and incredible blackbutt burl. Brendan takes his natural canvas from logs with splits, pieces from farm wind rows, and reclaimed timber. 

About the Location 

The property is located among magestic coastal heath in one of the most exposed sections of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge. Visitors to the site will observe how the fauna that occurs naturally has a way of adapting to the changing elements it is exposed to. The property is battered by high winds and rain in winter, and dust storms and searing heat in the hotter months. In spring, there is a multitude of wildflowers and birds. 

Exploring the Sculptures 

As you move through the Park, you will discover that there aren't formal pathways, but that it is a space which rewards the inquisitive, with something incredible to discover when you look around a certain tree or wander down a certain path.  A number of the 30 sculpture pieces will remind you of the quirky characters of your childhood, including Homer Simpson, Zoot from the Muppets, a giant dhufish. 

A treasure hunt has been fashioned among the sculptures, which has been created as a way for the kids to enjoy the natural raw space with their parents and interact with the art. The hidden shipwrecked ‘treasure’ can even be located on Google Earth before you arrive. 

Admission Prices 

Cash entry fees are collected through an 'honesty box' at the entrance to the site.
