Museum of Natural History

Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia

So glad that we decided to visit the Museum of Natural History, it is home to one of Australia's foremost taxidermists and many fine examples of his art are on display. So lifelike. The exhibits are expansive and probably deserve a larger premises to reduce crowding. The room is packed with examples and heads of animals and other fauna rarely if ever sighted, even in zoos. We septuagenarians thoroughly enjoyed our visit, just a shame that our youngest grandchildren were not with us so that we could enjoy their wonder.

Swan Valley Perth's Valley of Taste

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Queen Victoria granted John Septimus Roe 4,000 acres on the Swan River for services rendered to the British Crown. He planted the first vines in the Swan Valley in 1840. In terms of its contribution to Australian wine making, the Swan Valley ranks alongside the Barossa Valley and the Riverina. The Swan Valley has many more products apart from wine, such as the plump watermelons grown between the vines and a Swan Valley specialty, the luscious table grapes, full of fruit and flavor

Swan Valley Visitor Centre

Make a pitstop at the award-winning Swan Valley Visitor Centre and our friendly staff will help you get the most out of your Swan Valley sojourn. We’ve been voted the best Visitor Centre in the state at the 2017 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards AND we scooped gold as the best Visitor Centre in Australia at the prestigious QANTAS Australian Tourism Awards. We'd like to think these plaudits have a lot to do with our wide knowledge and helpful hints. We know the Swan Valley inside and out and back to front, and can tell you all the hidden nooks and crannies, the award winners, the family friendly, the romantic spots, the natural wonders and the many interactive experiences on offer. We’re here to answer any questions, allay any concerns and assist you with advice, maps and brochures. And we're open Monday to Sunday all year round, from 9am to 4pm (closed Christmas Day).

Colonial Gaol and Taylor’s Cottage

Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia

Fantastic that a number of old buildings from the original complex have been retained, they truly display a window of the past. We had a wonderful lady as our guide, a font of knowledge on all things historical for the area and the artefacts displayed. We always marvel at the relics of the past, a lot we are conversant with as they were used until the mid 1900's in Ireland and the UK. I even had practical experience on some while a youth on the farm. I think the entre fee paid was $10 for both of us, a pittance for the enjoyment of seeing the exhibits and being regaled with pioneering history of the district and the former uses of the buildings.

Explore the history of our town - on foot. Established on what is virtually an island encircled by the Swan and Helena Rivers, Guildford is ideally suited to exploration on foot. To assist you in discovering the numerous fascinating historic buildings, lively characters and wonderful stories of this 'island village' three new heritage walk trails (with 35 interpretive panels) have been built. Each trail starts and finishes at the Old Guildford Courthouse (Visitor Centre).

Enjoyed a nice early morning stroll around the Square. Plenty to interest. A couple of artillery guns, the Stirling Memorial Gates, the War Memorial, Memory Gates, Talbot Hobbs Memorial Gates, St Matthew's Memorial Garden, ANZAC Centenary Commemorative Rose Garden, children's playground, the majestic sugar gums and some wonderful informative signage on the historical aspects of each attraction.
