Tourism
Perth Mint
The multi award-winning tourist attraction - The Perth Mint, is one of the world's oldest mints still operating from its original premises and one of Western Australia's most historic buildings.
The Mint was established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint to refine gold from Western Australia's newly discovered goldfields and to strike gold sovereigns for the Empire.
Behind the majestic wrought iron gates that were locked to the general public for more than 90 years, it now unveils a wealth of treasures, welcoming visitors to experience one of Western Australia's premier tourist destinations.
Swan River
Get active and enjoy the sparkling waters of Perth's Swan River where you can go sailing and fishing, or just laze beside its wide expanses.
The Swan River is Perth's natural heartbeat - the city's location right on the river banks makes the capital one of the most beautiful in the world. The view of the river and city from Kings Park is among Western Australia's most scenic - city sky scrapers shining against a brilliant blue Perth sky, green parklands and the shimmering blue river combine to create a stunning vista.
There are many opportunities to experience the river.
