JOIN THE HUNT!
Discover Joondalup Town Centre through a trail of 15 life-sized geometric creatures, from fennec foxes to meerkats, an Asian elephant to a giant giraffe!
Thank you to everyone who participated in Animals Uptown art trail project! It has been an exciting and busy couple of months since November 2023. At last the trail has begun and I hope that visitors and trail followers discover businesses that Joondalup City Centre has on offer.
