Australia’s fairy capital continues to grow with kindness rocks and community workshops coming to Waroona

A little pink house, near the centre of Waroona, is pumping magic into the community as the town continues its transformation into the “fairy capital” of Australia.

The Magicbarn Fairy Garden launched their fairy door trail on March 29, with 39 fairy doors spread among businesses in the town.

In the months since the initial door deployment, owners Annette and Brian Kent have managed to stretch the trail to more than 200 doors across the shire.

Right from its inception, it was probably the biggest fairy door trail in WA, but Mrs Kent said with so many doors stretching over 20 kilometres, it is possibly now the biggest trail in Australia.

Mr Kent said it would not have been possible to spread the magic without the wider community.

“All of this being done in that short period shows acceptance of the community and businesses,” he said.

“It’s not just us, it’s them coming on board to be a part of it.

“If they weren’t this wouldn’t be as big or nearly as successful.

“They are a massive part of it.”

Continuing to add to the magic, the Kents are launching an initiative to hide kindness rocks in areas where the doors can be found.

Mrs Kent said there are already more than 300 rocks across the shire with the help of some passionate locals.

“We started putting out over 150 around the town ourselves, then lots of locals came on board and started painting some too,” she said.

“We have a mum and daughter team, Charlene and Imogen, who have painted a lot of really beautiful rocks and have hidden them in parks and in town as well.”

The couple want to keep adding to the magic with the community’s help and plan to host workshops at their barn over the coming months.

Mrs Kent said the workshops will be used to paint kindness rocks, build fairy doors and even making Christmas decorations later in the year.

Mr Kent said they always host free fairy door painting but want to see the community making their own.

“Over time in business, you learn that it’s not all about take, you have to give back, and that’s what we are trying to do,” he said.

Seeking as much community support as possible, Mr and Mrs Kent are calling people to gather at Pinjarra Bakery on Wednesday at 7.30am to see what new ideas they can develop.

Mrs Kent said it is her goal to make Waroona the happiest town in WA.
