Tours of the City Walking Tours There are no guided walking tours of Perth, but exploring the city centre and Northbridge on foot is a good way of taking in some of the key attractions. From Perth Railway Station, a two-hour round trip could include His Majesty's Theatre, Old Perth Boys School and Allen Green Conservatory, Barrack Street Development and Swan River, St George's Cathedral, Government House, the Perth Concert Hall, Perth Mint, Perth Town Hall and Malls Precinct. Finally, across the train line lies the Art Gallery of Western Australia and Western Australian Museum. Bus Tours The Perth Tram (tel: (08) 93 22 20 06) is actually a bus, a wooden replica of the first trams to operate in Perth, which were built in 1899. Drivers provide a full historical commentary for the 90-minute City Explorer Tour, and passengers can get off and rejoin the tram later. There are stops at Kings Park, Burswood Casino, Barrack Street Jetty, Murray and Queens Streets, Hay and Pier Streets, and Hay and Hill Streets. The tour costs A$13.20; no booking is necessary. Also offered is a one-hour Kings Park & University Tour, stopping at Fraser Avenue, Pioneer Women's Fountain, University of Western Australia, Lakeside Picnic Area and Saw Avenue. This costs A$11, or can be combined with the City Explorer Tour for A$22. |
