Thylacine Design

Working closely with the Parks Victoria team, Thylacine designed an interpretive exhibition for the recently redeveloped Tidal River Visitor Centre, highlighting the natural, conservation and historical stories of Wilsons Promontory.

Located at the heart of Wilsons Promontory National Park at the southernmost tip of mainland Australia, Tidal River is the Park’s main visitor hub and an extremely popular and picturesque campground.

Thylacine initially provided early interpretive consultation for Parks Victoria in 2022, supporting the proposal to revitalise the Visitor Centre. In 2025, as architectural upgrades were nearing completion, we returned to design, fabricate, and install the new interpretive exhibition and select external signage.

A 3-metre, scale landscape model of the Prom features in the centre of the space, with detailed routed and painted rivers, walking tracks and place names.

An undulating wall grid frames the exhibition, incorporating wrapped boxes in varied depths and colours inspired by the Prom’s landscape and layered environmental features.

Touch-screen media kiosks provide an added layer of connection and support for visitors, alongside large media screens integrated within the wall grids to show footage of the amazing features of the landscape on offer.
