Looking a little like an alien spaceship or rocket, the Bell Tower in Barrack Square is one of the world's largest musical instruments. Despite it's space-age appearance, housed within are the original 14th-century bells from Saint Martin in the Fields Church, the parish church of London's Buckingham Palace. Entry tickets include an interactive demonstration on the ancient art of bell ringing, as well as interesting exhibits on the history of the bells. While you're here, make sure you take time to enjoy the 360-degree views of the city and Swan River from the open-air observation deck on the 6th floor. For an extra fee, lovestruck couples can purchase a personalized "love lock" to add to a chain-link fence.
Nearby is Elizabeth Quay, a new
riverfront precinct, with restaurants, shops, cafes, and entertainment
venues. It's easy to visit the Bell Tower. You can walk here in about five minutes from the CBD. [include1/match-con.htm] |
