Exhibitions

Today's Western Australians take their truck-dependent economy for granted, unaware of how hard that journey has been.

The stories in The Long Haul exhibition will fill in the gaps and awaken a new appreciation for the trucks on our roads.

At 11am every Tuesday to Sunday, you can also take a free guided tour of the exhibition, for a deeper insight into the rise of trucking in WA.

Cost: Entry by donation
Location: Revolutions, Village (Building '1' on the Park Map, next to car park 7)
Time: 10.00am to 4.00pm

The exhibition extends into Whiteman Park's Motor Museum and Tractor Museum, where more special trucks are on display!

A winter collection of bowls and casserole dishes will be on display at the Pottery Centre from June to August. The exhibition, titled "Winter Wonderland" will showcase all new works by all the members of the Pottery Centre. With something for every occasion to keep the inner 'you' warm and well fed during the cold months ahead, this is an exhibition not to be missed!
With the coming of spring, now is the perfect time to get out in the garden - but be sure to visit the latest exhibition by the Pottery Centre, "Garden designs and patios", first! The exhibition displays wares by Carol Rashbrook and Judy Snook and includes large pots, patio pots as well as other 'garden type ware'. Don't miss the wonderful 'Garden Goddess's' - the perfect addition to any garden! 
The final exhibition for the year at the Pottery Centre showcases everything you might like to buy for your loved ones for christmas! "Christmas Cheer" is an exhibition by all member of the group and will showcase not only functional pottery, but also wall-hung decorations, special seahorses, ecclectic ceramic torso's, raku pots, animal-inspired pieces and many more exciting pieces!

Special Events

If your school or corporate group is interested in participating in a planting day at Whiteman Park, give us a call! 
Groups can help the revegetation efforts of Whiteman Park’s conservation team with weeding and planting in key areas of the Park. We have dates set aside across the winter months and over 20,000 plants to get in the ground!

Planting offers corporate groups a fantastic option for team building, and we can also accommodate social groups and volunteer organisations. All planting equipment, instructions and refreshments are provided by the Park.

Participants just have to wear sensible, closed-in shoes, wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring a green thumb! You can book in for a whole day, or a half day of planting as suits.

Australia’s largest community tree planting event is coming up on Sunday 1 August and Whiteman Park is inviting you to join in!

The staff at Whiteman Park will be hosting a free planting day from 9am to 12pm, allowing members of the public to help revegetate a site near the Wunanga Bush Trail to the north of the Village.

In 2010, Whiteman Park has over 20,000 native seedlings to plant as part of the annual revegetation program. National Tree Day will see up to 5,000 of these planted in the Park.
