3 Best Landmarks in Perth WA

We visited the iconic bell tower on a Wednesday using Klook pass for both the Anzac bell tower experience and Perth Mint tour. This option saved us considerable amount of money compared to buying both tickets separately. There were plenty of bell exhibits to see and we marvelled at the turret clock which chimed every 15 minutes and by the hour. Seeing the turret clockwork is a wonderful alternative for my young child who is not old enough to see the Big Ben in its clock room. The gold coins from the bell tower visit can be engraved with name and date for free at the Perth Mint. Other than the overall pleasant visit, I have to commend the admin and customer service at the tower who responded quickly to my email on enquiry about tour packages and lost items. The personnel had kept safely the bell tower fridge magnets I had left behind and offered to post them to Malaysia for a token fee. That made my day completely. Hope to be back again for another visit in the future, to see the bell ringers in action.

We just finished a fabulous tour at the Bell Tower. We chose the 11:30am Thursday tour to see the bell ringers in action, which was great, but the unexpected highlight was seeing the massive Anzac Bell toll at noon - it was amazing! Sylvia was our guide and she was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed having the chance to ring the bells ourselves and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Anzac medal included in this tour. Thoroughly recommend!

The staff, particularly Deborah, were amazing with our kids. Made the tour very fun, let our son choose the music for the bells, and was overall lovely! The tower itself has some nice views at the top, and plenty of information boards on the history of the tower and making of the bells. Definitely a site to visit when in Perth!

Fantastic place to see in Fremantle. We did the Tunnel Tour with Sarah, they were so knowledgeable, experienced and engaging throughout the whole tour. We go to see so much and learn all about the delicate ecosystem in the tunnel, its construction and history. The tour wasn't too big either, good tour to do with a buddy, but any number of people is fine. Climbing down the ladders and taking the boats through the tunnels were definitely the best part. If you do the Tunnel Tour you can also get an 'above ground' tour for $10, so definitely select a second tour to go inside the actual prison and see heaps more. Original bars of soap and everything!

We did the Behind Bars tour today and were very pleased. Our guide was great. Articulate, knowledgable and with just the right amount of humour to keep a diverse group entertained. The prison is quite fascinating and gives me shivers when I think of the people who lived and died there. Do book as this is one of the more popular tours they do. Have to ring to book, or walk up.

One of the best historical sites in Perth...no surprise it's on the World Heritage list:) Access is via tour only. There's 5 tours, so something for everyone. At a cost of $22 for the first and $10 each subsequent tour, they represent much better value than Port Arthur. We did the convict tour with Ian, who was informative and patient. There's also a reasonably priced gift shop if looking for unique souvenirs.

The war memorial was gorgeous. Not only is the monument and pond surrounding it beautiful and informative but the view is exceptional. Try sitting around the edge of the seating area surrounding the monument itself and talking. No matter how far from someone you are, as long as you’re on the same bench, you can hear them even in a whisper. Once you’ve seen the monument grab a drink and something to eat close by then head to the fence behind the memorial and check out the view which goes on for miles all the way to the other end of Kings Park. Bring a hat and sunnies on a hot day, it’s accessible for all, so get along and check it out!

My 2nd visit to the war memorial and 20 years since I first came. The memorial itself remained the same and the surrounding views are spectacular and offers various vantage points of Perth city. Parking is free, it’s accessible by bus or a walk if you fancy. There is cafe nearby for you to enjoy a cuppa with gorgeous views. It’s absolutely a must visit when you’re in Perth.

This is a beautiful memorial in a stunning location, near the Perth Botanical gardens. It is a painful and important reminder of the many men who gave their lives for our freedom and protection.
