Red Earth Arts Precinct

Reviewed By MissMShW - Perth, Australia

A brilliant venue to attend. A bar/ kiosk is available. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The staged area is massive and the seats are pretty comfy too. Clean and modern toilet facilities also. I’m looking forward to attending more events at the red earth arts precinct.

City of Perth Library

Reviewed By Aussie252 - Perth, Australia

It’s an interesting building from the outside, centrally located and easy to get to. The interior is just as pleasing. Spacious, airy, light filled and inviting. I often visit to read the wide variety of papers and exchange library books. I wander in intent on a quick visit and a couple of hours later reluctantly leave. A great range of books, magazines and papers located over several floors. I won’t go into detail on what’s available as you can get that from the website- but staff are very helpful. The ground floor coffee shop is good too.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The State Library of Wesern Australia (SLWA) is a research, reference and lending library. You must have a SLWA membership ticket, which is limited to residents of WA, to borrow books. The computers can be ued by visitors. The library is very comfortable, far better than the old one. The Battye Library specialises in WA history, it is a boon for people reserching WA history. The SLWA is in Northbridge, it's easy to find.
