A series of enormous wooden sculptures are coming to Mandurah in a bid to attract more visitors to the Peel region and boost the local economy.
Created by renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo, each sculpture will be placed in secret locations waiting to be discovered and explored.
The fairytale inspired creatures will act as protectors of the environment and each will have their own personality and tell part of the story of the Mandurah area.
The Australian-first project is set to open to the public later this year, and is expected to bring thousands of visitors to the region and inject millions into the local economy over the first 12 months.
Dambo's work has been showcased throughout the world including in Denmark, USA, France, Germany, China, South Korea and Chile.

"I am delighted to hear that these special and unique sculptures are coming to the Peel region," Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman said.
"This will bring thousands of visitors, experiencing our beautiful environment and spending money in local businesses.
"These sculptures will invite people into our magical region and help them experience the magnificence of the Peel.
"I look forward to hunting some of them down with my family."
The large-scale exhibition was initiated and will be produced by non-profit arts and cultural organisation FORM - Building a State of Creativity Inc. and delivered in collaboration with the City of Mandurah.
