What to do and see in Perth CBD, Western Australia: The Best Monuments & Statues
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 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.

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

I was happy to see an Aboriginal Monument. This one is named: "First Contact." It is 5 meters high, made in cast aluminium. The artist is an aboriginal: Laurel Nannup. The monument shows the arrival of the Europeans who were looking to settle somewhere. The Aboriginals believed that these ships were their former ancestors , returning from the ocean. At night this monument is illuminated. It is attractive. Many tourists were admiring this First Contact. It is impossible to miss it! This is a must see!

Marcus Canning and Christian de Vietri. We cannot miss it. The foundation is made with black. It has a pole or the sword in it and a completely white flag that can move wherever the wind leads it. It is original and attractive. It represents the battle between the dragon and St. George. It is a battle between good and evil. It is named Ascalon after the name of the sword. It was fun to see a monument where one spot of the monument keeps on moving thanks to the wind. Tourists enjoy watching it as well. Unique! This is really worthwhile to see!
