Itinerary
Perth is the capital city of Western Australia, an enormous state that takes up a third of Australia and is 3.5 times bigger than Texas. Originally not of any interest to the British, it was only when French and Dutch explorers started sniffing around that the English decided there should be a colony in the West of Australia.
Perth was born out of very different reasons from any other Australian city and developed in a very different manner. This has produced a city with a laid back, big town feel while actually being an economic powerhouse.
Join your local guide at the Perth Town Hall at 6.00pm to depart on a walking tour that will take approx 2hr and cover 3.5km over flat land. Perth is a city with a history that is not in your face to see, rather scattered in hard to find places. Your guide will take you to these places and share intriguing stories about the past, present and the future including what happened between the local Noongar People and the British during settlement, events during mining boom times that shaped the city and influential identities that left their mark.
Further to the historical and heritage stories, you will hear many quirky stories about people and places and see the city from a unique perspective. Discover the small bars that are popping up around the city and find out about local events in the city.
With Perth in the middle of another enormous mining boom, see and hear about the enormous infrastructure developments which will change the city forever, plus hear about some world records along the way.
At the completion of the tour, join us at Rosie O’Gradys Bar in the Northbridge Precinct which is known for its cultural diversity, restaurants and nightlife. Join your guide for a complimentary beer/wine/softdrink and chat about the city!
