A beloved piece of Western Australian public art has returned to Armadale Station, with the Tony Jones’ Signal Grove sculptures reinstalled at the new elevated station.

The sculptures, temporarily removed as part of the METRONET Byford Rail Extension Project, now take pride of place on the western side of the station, continuing their legacy as a vibrant and impactful landmark that holds a special place for the Armadale community.

The five tall, vividly coloured steel sculptures draw inspiration from the region’s forestry and rail history and can be appreciated individually or read as a collective story. Some pieces feature moving parts to engage the community and spark creativity.
