Home to historic bells, fabulous views and a great spot for a maternity shoot, even on a rainy day!
Beautiful pics by Andrew Robertson of Gascoyne Media, with Perth pattern facts from Hidden de Tours.
Would only reccomend if you were really into bells tbh
Completed in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, the tower incorporates a remarkable set of 18 bells – including 12 from the historic St Martin-in-the-Fields Church in London, some of which date back over 600 years. Even without stepping indoors, the sense of heritage is evident.
Architecturally, it’s a stunning fusion of modern materials: glass, steel and copper form an eye-catching spire that evokes both nautical imagery and contemporary design. It stands out beautifully against the skyline, particularly at sunset when the light plays off its metallic surfaces.
The surrounding area is pleasant to explore, with Elizabeth Quay and landscaped paths providing a peaceful setting and excellent views across the water.
Even without a tour, the Bell Tower offers a striking visual experience – a perfect blend of old-world significance and modern creativity.
There were plenty of bell exhibits to see and we marvelled at the turret clock which chimed every 15 minutes and by the hour. Seeing the turret clockwork is a wonderful alternative for my young child who is not old enough to see the Big Ben in its clock room. The gold coins from the bell tower visit can be engraved with name and date for free at the Perth Mint.
Other than the overall pleasant visit, I have to commend the admin and customer service at the tower who responded quickly to my email on enquiry about tour packages and lost items. The personnel had kept safely the bell tower fridge magnets I had left behind and offered to post them to Malaysia for a token fee. That made my day completely.
Hope to be back again for another visit in the future, to see the bell ringers in action.
The bell ringing tour is definitely worth the extra few dollars.
There's lots to learn bout bell ringing, it seems there's a lot more skill involved than simply pulling a rope. The mechanics behind moving the bell, running the bell, installing a new one etc are quite interesting.
I found the Gold and Bells package which included a tour at another 'not yet visited' place of interest of mine, the Perth mint.
Tour starts at 11, wish I knew I could of had access prior because I definitely needed more time to get around the levels.
I really enjoyed the interactive part of the tour and just for that experience alone, money well spent. Staff are absolutely lovely. Finished up hanging with the Anzac bell and had to get to the Perth mint for a 12.30 tour.
I recommend this place ????%
I think it is the best proposal place
All should go their ????
The view on the 6th floor observation deck is always worth it.
After bell tower, took my kids to get an ice cream, and enjoyed a snack and a drink at the cafe while kids played in the playground by the side.
Unfortunately the Bell Tower is only open for half the week, and only for a few hours for open days. So plan ahead!
