Historical information

Looking West by Jon Tarry is located on the Dundebar Rd roundabout in front of the Wanneroo Civic Centre. This popular sculpture is constructed from cast steel, granite and stainless steel, and depicts a figure striding out atop a granite base with fishing net on one side and a rake on the other. Jon Tarry created the figure, facing west into the wind off the sea, like a sheet of cloth in the wind. The figure welcomes visitors to Wanneroo and pays homage to the City’s market gardening and fishing heritage. The rake symbolises gardening, growth and cultivation. The net similarly indicates the theme of harvest and life.
