The first people known to have inhabited the area were Binjareb of
the Bibbulmun Nation. These people lived well off the land, which
abounded in fish, game, berries and fruits. The locality then was
known as Mandjoogoordap, which translates as 'meeting place of the
heart'. After European settlement the name was adapted to Mandurah.
This Kwinana Freeway interchange sculpture is called Attractor
and is by the artist Gary Aitken. Inspired by the iconic Mandurah
ferris wheel, this sculpture comprises floating circles with
circular perforations that interact with light to create shadows
that continuously transform the artwork. The orange and blue
colours of the sculpture refer to the sun, water and sky. This
colour scheme also creates a visual synergy with the painted
retaining walls, which include a similar palette. This piece is
located on the western side of the interchange and serves as a way
finding device from the freeway to the Mandjoogoordap Rd.
