As dusk fades through the tall timbers, the Night-watchman leads you on a journey through history. From his lantern, shimmering figures emerge; a bushranger, a bank robber, a refugee, and an Anzac burst from the walls, whisper their stories, then evaporate. Dark Corners illuminates the past and brings the long-dead to life. The new technologies of projection-mapping and augmented reality enhance the oldest of art forms; true tales of the ancestors.

This tour is currently under development and will premiere on 23 April 2026.

Manjimup’s rendition of Dark Corners is proudly supported by Southern Forest Arts, Shire of Manjimup, and Manjimup Heritage Park as part of the Southern Forests & Valleys Heritage Festival 2026.

Produced by the team who brought you Dark Corners in Cossack (2025 & 2026), Cockburn (2023 & 2025), Fremantle (2025 & 2023), Mandurah (2022, 2023 & 2024) and Kwinana (2021 & 2023).

The first port town in Australia’s North West is now a handful of crumbling Victorian-era remnants, incongruous in their grandeur, against the endless red dust emptiness. 

What happened here? 

As dusk fades over the tidal flats, the Night-watchman leads you on the journey from boom to bust, enchanting you with tales of the former residents. From his lantern, shimmering figures emerge, painting pictures on the walls with light, before dissolving into the night. Meet pearl magnates, dynamite assassins, and bank robbing monkeys. Dark Corners illuminates the past and brings the long-dead to life. The newest technologies of digital art, projection-mapping, and augmented reality enhance the oldest of art forms; true tales of the ancestors. This is the future of history.
