IT’S ON AGAIN !
Kalbarri Rainbow Jungle
Sculpture Exibition
September 11 To October 10 2010
Parrotiso’s Cinema Kalbarri
Situated at Rainbow Jungle, this
modern outdoor cinema is well
appointed with a snack bar, wood fired
Pizza and soon to be included... a
licensed bar.
G’day from Kalbarri once again and here we are with just a little over three months left until
the opening of the Rainbow Jungle Kalbarri Sculpture Exhibition 2010.
I had a good look at The Jungle just yesterday, and Amber, Kevin and their crew have it
looking absolutely pristine and at its best for the Exhibition. “The Jungle” is what makes this
show so special and I cannot thank them enough for allowing us to transform their
spectacular and challenging venue into an artistic showcase for the four weeks of the
Exhibition.
Speaking of special, I am happy to report that the sheer size of our venue will allow us to
mount a comprehensive display of young people’s sculptural artwork from the school
students of the Midwest as well as dimensional artwork from artists across the State. So not
only does our Midwest exhibition allow an easy option for the kids to experience quality
artwork up close but a chance to actually participate in the art experience as well.
The Kalbarri District High School has already commenced work toward the Exhibition in a big
way and I think you are in for a real treat when you see the quality of the work they are turning
out for the Show. I am hoping the other Midwest schools turn their students on to artwork and
contribute likewise.
Why not you participate in this great event for the Midwest of WA? Keep in mind that entries
close this month. Downloadable Entry Forms are available at www.rainbowjunglekalbarri.com
or contact me at kalbarrijungleart@yahoo.com.au for a mailout or to answer any questions
you may have.

Kalbarri Rainbow Jungle - Sculpture Exibition - September 11 To October 10 2010
G'day once again from Warm & Sunny Kalbarri
Here we are with just a couple of months to go before the opening of the Rainbow Jungle
Kalbarri Sculpture Exhibition 2010 (September 10th) here in Kalbarri and despite the cooler
days things are hotting up. This is an exciting time for the Exhibition as entries are now due
and are coming from all over the place as I compose this newsletter. Entry forms and
conditions of entry are still available from www.rainbowjunglekalbarri.com And don’t forget
the $200.00 grant for successful entrants from beyond the Midwest to help defer your costs
for participating in this great event.
Many of the proposals already received reflect the close relationship we have here with the
environment, and particularly the sea. With six pools and waterfalls for display space in the
Jungle this will all show very well, and we look forward to the challenge of mounting this
unique Exhibition. We were hoping for more wall hangings this time round and are not
disappointed. There is a variety of items made of everything from beautifully painted silk
panels to intricate weaved grasses. It will prove a challenge to mount these pieces in
particular up and around the Jungle environment to show them at their best.
This month also brings Erika Monique, the arts specialist from Durack TAFE, to Kalbarri to
spend concentrated time with our District High Students on art projects for the Exhibition.
Erika worked with the Adult Arts and Crafts Group here in 2008 and her input back then is
shown in the increase of entries from locals this year. This is just one of the many ways the
Exhibition has grown since 2008, and we welcome Erika’s input and creative expertise.
We also welcome a new sponsor this year, The Road Safety Council, through the WALGA
RoadWise program. Just a reminder to take care and buckle up on your trip up to the
Exhibition in September.
NOTE: Don’t forget to book your Kalbarri accommodation early, especially for the popular
school holiday period. The Kalbarri Visitor Centre can assist with bookings or call me direct
for preferred accommodations.

JULY 2010 NEWSLETTER
Like many of you I received the announcement of the 2011 “Geraldton Gathering” just the
other day. What an exciting time for all the Midwest this will be.
If you are looking for a preview of just what you will be in for next year and how much the
Midwest really has to offer then a trip up to Kalbarri next month for the Rainbow Jungle
Kalbarri Sculpture Exhibition 2010 is a must.
More than 60 sculptures, wall hangings and water features from across the State on show
and for sale, plus an extensive display of artworks from the students of the Northampton
Shire. All this in, around and about the spectacular Rainbow Jungle environment. This 4
week Exhibition attracted over 6000 people in 2008 and we expect many more this time
round.
And what a great time of year to visit the Midwest! Wildflowers are everywhere and the
National Park looks a treat. Humpback and southern right whales are already turning up on
the Midwest coast in record numbers and are easily visible from Kalbarri’s lofty coastal
lookouts. The weather is forecast to be warm and friendly, with much to see and do in
Kalbarri, or just stay laid back as you stroll the beaches and soak up our famous sunsets.
The arts and nature combine next month to bring you more than just a preview of what the
Midwest has to offer.
