Stories of the Sunset Coast
Stories of the Sunset Coast invites you to see Perth’s northern coastline a little differently, through the connections between people, land and nature that continue to define our region.
Explore the Sunset Coast through the stories that shape it.
This experience is designed for curious explorers, locals and visitors alike, who enjoy understanding more about the places they visit. Whether you’re exploring the Lake Gwelup Story Trail, discovering community history at Mount Flora Regional Museum, uncovering Scarborough’s Public Art Trail or spending time at Herdsman Lake Regional Park, there’s always another layer to discover.
Pick up your copy of the Stories of the Sunset Coast from a City of Stirling library, Mount Flora Regional Museum or start exploring the online interactive map here.
Wherever you begin, each location connects to one or more of three storytelling lenses:
- People & Connections | Discover stories of Wadjak Nyoongar Country, local heritage and the communities that have shaped life over generations
- Land & Time | Uncover the ancient landscapes beneath your feet, from wind‑formed limestone to shifting dune systems that continue to shape the coastline today
- Nature & Life | Experience the ecosystems that thrive here, from coastal bushland and wetlands to reefs and marine habitats.
Together, these layers reveal why each place matters, what makes it distinctive and how it fits into the wider Sunset Coast.
You can explore the Stories of the Sunset Coast in a way that suits you. Follow your curiosity between nearby sites, build a full‑day itinerary or take your time discovering places close to home.
