We felt like having a country drive the other day and remembered that we had long heard of this place called Gnomesville, but had never taken the trouble to go there.
A quick at Google maps showed us that Gnomesville lay in the beautiful Ferguson Valley, about midway between the coastal town of Bunbury and the coal mining town of Collie, east of it.
About 180 km south of Perth, it took us 2 hours or so to get there.
There were thousands of these gnomes placed in this little wooded area by individuals and all kinds of social and sporting groups.

Here are some of the many whimsical displays scattered throughout the place. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
Gnomes with anatomically accurate parts! Not very flattering parts though.
ReplyDeleteNot to the human eye, but to another gnome .....
DeleteAlmost all the gnomes have beards (and presumably advanced in age). What happened to the young gnomes? Have they migrated to Perth?
ReplyDeleteA retirement village, perhaps?
DeleteOh me oh my!!! Goodness gracious me! So many gnomes! My attention is drawn to the naked ones. Muahahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are a thousand or two of them. But only a few naked ones, though!
