Forest Discovery Centre

West Coast Australia


Tucked into the jarrah forest on the edge of town, this interesting rammed-earth building takes the shape of three interlinked gum leaves. Inside are displays about the forest's flora and fauna, and a shop selling beautiful pieces crafted by local and visiting woodworkers. Short trails, including an 11m-high canopy walk, meander off into the woods. There's a cafe and kids' nature-play areas here too.
