Top 5 Historic Sites in Perth CBD, Western Australia

February 21, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower is one of the most unique things to see in Perth. The Bell Tower Experience tour gives you a fascinating insight into the one of the most unique facilities in the world! You can learn all about the history of the bells and the Tower, the ancient art of bell ringing and you will get to chime a famous bell and receive a souvenir certificate. Twelve of the 18 bells in this Tower came from London's St.Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square as a Bicentenary gift to the people of Western Australia in 1988. Originally cast in the 13th century and recast in the 16th and 18th centuries, they were rung at the homecoming of James Cook after his voyage of discovery in 1771, after the Battle of El Alamein in 1942 and at the coronation of every British monarch since George II in 1727. The Bell Tower is also home to the 6,500kg ANZAC Bell, which is rung at 12pm everyday (1pm ANZAC Day 25 April). To maximise your experience we recommend bookings the premium ANZAC Bell Tour.

Reviewed By heatherjsanders - Cairns, Australia

What a find wandering through the city of Perth. Good value for seniors. We experienced actually ringing the bells on a tour. We were lucky to be there at midday when the ANZAC Bell rings for a minute. Very interesting building with photos from a WA competition displayed. Historically bells, clocks mainly Australia and also gifts to the Bell Tower from around the world
