South West Australia Starts Here… and we found giants?! | Mandurah Vlog

Our first taste of WA’s South West did not disappoint – giant sculptures, dolphins, forest walks, and a lot of chaos! We kicked off this leg of the trip exploring the famous Giants trail, just an hour south of Perth, and honestly had no idea what we were in for... 👀

These larger-than-life wooden sculptures by Thomas Dambo are hidden around the Mandurah region, turning a day out into a full-on treasure hunt. We even managed to unlock the “secret giant” … eventually. 😅

Along the way, we stumbled across dolphins, forest detours, and one very cute hidden giant we’re now emotionally attached to (looking at you, Little Lui). 💖

This might be our first stop in the South West, but if this is how it starts… we’re in for a good time! 😆

⚠️ Spoiler alert: we do reveal the location of the last giant in this video — so if you want to find it yourself, maybe come back after your own hunt 😉
