First Contact This beautiful sculpture by artist Laurel Nannup, fondly referred to as 'the bird' or 'the penguin'. Located at the William Street Landing, the work depicts the arrival of European settlers to Perth. As the European boats arrived, the local Noongar people believed that these ships, were their past ancestors returning from the sea. At night the sculpture illuminates creating a majestic viewing point on the Swan River.
