Showgrounds Marker
Sculpture in the form of a show ribbon
The Showgrounds Marker was designed and created by artist Don Walters in 2010. It was placed as part of the Civic Trail on the corner of Ariti Avenue and Wanneroo Road to celebrate 100 years of the Wanneroo Show. The steel structure is based on a first place ribbon that’s folded into a W. The Wanneroo Showground was developed over several years at the 15 mile peg, and the first Wanneroo Agricultural Society Show was held on 21 April 1909. During the 1920s and 30s the Show became very popular and continues to be an exciting annual event. It is still run by the Wanneroo Agricultural Society, with a great community component, and is undertaken over Friday and Saturday in late November.
