The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower Review

An interesting mix of 14th-century history and contemporary Australian architecture, the modern Bell Tower is home to the antique Swan Bells. Comprising one of the world's largest musical instruments, the 12 ancient bells installed in the tower are originally from St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church of London, England. The same bells rang to celebrate the destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the homecoming of Captain James Cook in 1771, and the coronation of every British monarch. The tower contains fascinating displays on the history of the bells and bell ringing, and provides stunning views of the Perth skyline. A new product included in the entry price is the innovatory "video postcard," which streams to You Tube and lets you say "hi" to family and friends around the world. Head to the lofty heights of the observation deck on Level 6 for the Wow factor.
