Medowie: Map Art and Macadamia Experiences

Discover Medowie through two very different experiences: a large illustrated map artwork at Lions Park and half-hour group tours at Medowie Macadamias. One brings together a map theme and contributions from young artists in the community; the other explains macadamia processing, from flowering and harvesting through to production. This gives you a choice for your trip planning between community-created art and an explained processing journey.

Map Art with Many Voices

Lions Park is home to a large illustrated map artwork, created in collaboration with local artists Skye Stephenson and Jade Deacon-Stephenson. The map features original illustrations by students from Medowie’s four schools, as well as other young artists from the community. Contributions from several schools and young people in the community come together in a shared work.

The map artwork can therefore be viewed on two levels: as an illustrated map and as a community art project. For travellers interested in local art, the collaboration itself is also part of the story. If you’re travelling with children, the range of contributors can spark a conversation: how do individual ideas come together in one shared work? This draws attention not only to the image, but also to the collaboration behind the illustrations.

Macadamia Processing Group Tours

At Medowie Macadamias, the focus is on the processing steps. The half-hour group tours take you around the plantation and explain each stage of macadamia processing—from flowering and harvesting through to production. This sequence connects the beginning with the later processing steps, giving the tour a clear theme. At half an hour long, it’s easy to fit into your schedule as you plan your stay.

The group tours are suitable for people aged nine to 90, and bus groups are welcome. Confirm tour arrangements directly with the operator before making your plans. This lets you take the duration and group format into account and add the tour to your day’s itinerary once arrangements have been confirmed.

Two Different Ways to Shape Your Stay

The experiences differ in format: the map artwork focuses on illustrations and the involvement of young artists, while Medowie Macadamias offers a group tour with a stated duration and an explained process. If you’re looking for hotels in Medowie, thinking about the kind of trip you want can be a helpful starting point. Would you rather explore community-created art, or are you interested in a tour of the macadamia processing steps? Weighing up these options can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.
