Walk the Story – Voices of WA

Every place has a story. Come and discover the people behind it.

Take a journey through Western Australia like never before with Walk the Story, an immersive installation brought to life by Showscreens.

As you wander along a beautifully illuminated pathway, towering digital screens will transport you across our incredible State, showcasing the landscapes, communities and personal stories that make Western Australia so special.

At the heart of the experience is Voices of WA, a storytelling project capturing the real voices and lived experiences of people from six regional communities. Through powerful imagery, sound and heartfelt storytelling, discover what home, culture and connection mean to the people who know these places best.

More than just a walk, it's a chance to see WA through someone else's eyes and discover the stories that connect us all.

Voices of WA is a Celebrate WA initiative delivered in partnership with the WA Museum, Centre for Stories and SOCO Studios, with the installation brought to life by Showscreens.

Pop Up. Party. Dodgeball!

Born in a Perth sporting clubroom and now bringing the fun to every corner of the state, from Port Hedland to Albany, the Dodgy Bros are proud to be part of WA Day! Jump into our custom inflatable arena and dodge, dip and dance your way through fast-paced games to a pumping party playlist.

With super safe soft foam balls, absolutely anyone can play. Young or old, sporty or not, whether you’ve been a West Aussie for generations or just arrived, there’s a spot on the team for you. Strangers walk in and walk out sharing high fives and laughs, unlikely heroes are made, and stories of triumph and defeat get told long after the final whistle.

There’s no better way to celebrate the people who make WA home than getting active and having a laugh together. Come and step into the arena!
