What are the Giants of Mandurah?
The Giants of Mandurah are six larger-than-life giant sculptures created by world-renowned recycle artist Thomas Dambo. They’ve been designed as a treasure hunt game (in this case, a giant hunt) that allows you to explore and experience Mandurah in Western Australia and its beautiful natural areas.
As you visit each giant, you note down the symbol found on each of the first five. Use these symbols to crack a code that will then give you the top-secret location of the sixth and final giant.
The Giants of Mandurah officially opened in November 2022 and remains one of Mandurah’s best-known outdoor attractions. Before you go, it’s worth checking the official Giants of Mandurah site or visitor centre for the latest map and access information.
Why? What’s the point of the Giants of Mandurah?
Finding the Giants of Mandurah is a great way to get the family outdoors with purpose. The ‘collecting symbols to crack a code’ aspect turns it into a challenge with a goal, so it feels pretty good when you finally crack the code and find the location of the last giant. You don’t need to find them all at once either and are free to find them at your own pace. We spread it over three days.
We’ll discuss the individual giants below, including what to expect, location and a Giants of Mandurah map. But if you’d like to see what they look like, make sure to watch our video below first. Trust me, they are amazing to see in person!
How to get started hunting the Giants of Mandurah
What’s important to note is that one of the Giants, Billie Bob, wandered off to Perth and can be found there. So, if you’re already in Perth or coming from the north, it makes sense to find him first before heading an hour further south to Mandurah to discover the remaining five.
Start at the Mandurah Visitor Information Centre
Any good Giant hunting adventure begins at the Mandurah Visitor Information Centre, where you can pick up a free Giants of Mandurah map and a free Traveller’s Companion. You’ll need to come back here after you’ve collected the first five symbols because the QR code and totem pole required to crack the code is located here.

Named after the esteemed Binjareb Noongar leader George Winjan, Yaburgurt liest peacefully by the Peel Inlet in Mandurah. Yaburgurt is actually the second giant for this location, the first, Vivi Cirkelstone, was burnt to the ground by vandals just one month after the project arrived.

Little Lui
Venture into the Lakelands region of Mandurah to meet Little Lui, who is not very little at over five metres high and six metres long. You’ll find this charming Giant nestled amidst lush bushland, resting on a tree that has fallen over.
The trail to find Little Lui is flat, but it’s not sealed so you’ll be walking on a mix of crushed limestone and compressed dirt and leaves through the bushland. As a result, you’ll need to be prepared for varying surfaces and wear closed-in shoes. This walk can be achieved with an off-road wheelchair.
Don’t forget the insect repellent when you go in search of Little Lui and as there are no toilets or water, you’ll need to go before you leave and come prepared.

- Distance: 3.6 kilometres return
- Difficulty: Easy. Trail grade 2.
- Parking location: 1 Herdsman St, Lakelands WA 6180

Billie Bob
Billie Bob is one of the easiest Giants of Mandurah to find, but he is not actually located in Mandurah. Instead, you’ll find Billie Bob in the Subiaco Theatre Ground one hour north in Perth. Apparently, he went walkabouts. At six metres long and two metres high, Billie Bob is no slouch either.
The parking at the Subiaco Theatre ground is metred, but you may get lucky with nearby on-street parking. Pack a picnic and make a morning of it as there is a large playground close to Billie Bob, shady trees, toilets and water.
Important information about Billie Bob:
- Time: 2 minutes
- Distance: 0.2 kilometres return
- Difficulty: Easy. Trail grade 1.
- Parking location: Subiaco Theatre grounds

How to find the secret giant Jyttes Hytte
As you now know, you’ll need to visit the Mandurah Visitor Information Centre with all the symbols you’ve collected from the previous five Giants of Mandurah to find Jyttes Hytte. Put the symbols you have found into the special code-breaker, scan the QR code underneath with your phone, and you’ll discover the location.
It’s around a 30-minute drive from Mandurah and given its top-secret location, there is no signage to indicate you’ve arrived at the correct spot like the other giants. However, you will see a small Giants of Mandurah QR code on a post in the parking lot.
This walk is on a variety of surfaces through natural bushland, so closed-in shoes is a must, and you can expect a mixture of shade and open areas. Although a little on the longer side, it’s a fairly easy walk as the trail is flat. Toilets are available in the parking lot.
Important information about Jyttes Hytte:
- Time: 1 hour
- Distance: 3.5 kilometres return
- Difficulty: Moderate. Trail grade 3.
