The Swan Bells, a set of 18 bells, gracefully hang within this copper and glass campanile, overlooking the picturesque Swan River. Marvel at their harmonious melody, forming a sixteen-bell peal with two extra chromatic notes—the second-largest set of change ringing bells globally.

Delve into the historical tapestry of twelve historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, generously donated during the 1988 Australian bicentenary celebrations. The story continues with the addition of six newer bells, crafted by the renowned Whitechapel Bell Foundry and accompanied by a heartfelt donation of metals mined in Western Australia.

Each bell carries a legacy, from those gifted to the University of Western Australia, the City of Perth, and the people of Western Australia, to the extraordinary commission by the Western Australian Government.

Continuing our tour out of Perth we make a stop at Kings Park.

Welcome to Kings Park, a verdant oasis that transcends ordinary park experiences, inviting you to immerse yourself in the natural splendor of Perth, Western Australia. Known in Noongar language as Kaarta Gar-up, this 399.9-hectare haven is a harmonious blend of grassy parkland, botanical gardens, and pristine bushland perched majestically on Mount Eliza.

As you step into this lush sanctuary, a panorama unfolds before you, revealing unparalleled views of Perth Water and the bustling central business district. Two-thirds of the grounds are a testament to the commitment to preserving native bushland, creating a haven for both wildlife and visitors seeking respite from the urban bustle.

Explore the tapestry of Kings Park, home to a breathtaking array of over 324 native plant varieties, 215 indigenous fungi species, and a symphony of 80 bird species. It's not just a park; it's a living, breathing testament to the rich biodiversity that Western Australia has to offer.

Adorned with the State War Memorial, the prestigious Royal Kings Park Tennis Club, and a reservoir, Kings Park isn't merely a green expanse—it's a cultural and recreational epicenter. Stroll down tree-lined streets adorned with individual plaques, each a heartfelt dedication to Western Australian servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War I and World War II.

Welcome to Fremantle, a coastal gem that weaves together the vibrant threads of history, culture, and culinary delights along the shores of Western Australia. Known in Nyungar language as Walyalup, this port city is more than a destination—it's a captivating journey at the mouth of the Swan River, just a stone's throw from the bustling heart of Perth.

As you step into Fremantle, the echoes of millennia whisper through the air, a tribute to the indigenous Noongar people who called this land Walyalup, meaning "place of the woylie." Rich in heritage, Fremantle boasts a legacy dating back to Dutch explorers in the 1600s, and in 1829, it became the pioneering settlement of the Swan River colonists, named after the intrepid Captain Charles Fremantle.

Explore the layers of history as you stroll through streets where Victorian and Edwardian architecture stands proud, preserving the tales of a bygone era. The charm of Fremantle extends to its very harbor, where the ebb and flow of life have shaped a bustling trade center since the heady days of the Western Australian gold rushes.

Delve into the convict-era heritage at the iconic Fremantle Prison, a World Heritage Site that bears witness to a complex past. This historic landmark served as Australia's primary convict destination after 1850, and its formidable presence is a testament to resilience and transformation.

Fremantle isn't merely a city; it's a living canvas that unfolds in chapters. In the 20th century, it played a pivotal role as the largest submarine base in the Southern Hemisphere during World War II. Post-war, the city embraced a wave of European influences, especially from Italy, shaping its character into the eclectic enclave we know today.

Experience the vibrant pulse of Fremantle, where the echoes of the 1987 America's Cup still reverberate, marking an era of rapid gentrification. Wander through its streets and alleys, where bohemian spirit meets artistic expression, and indulge your senses in a thriving culinary scene that reflects Fremantle's cosmopolitan flair.

Join us on this enchanting journey through Fremantle, where every corner reveals a story, and the city itself is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and cultural diversity that defines this coastal haven on the shores of Western Australia.

Discover the solemn beauty of Monument Hill, a sacred 11-acre haven perched atop Fremantle, Western Australia. This public reserve, steeped in history and reverence, is home to the Fremantle War Memorial—an eloquent tribute to heroism and sacrifice.

As you ascend the hill, an awe-inspiring sight awaits: the grandeur of a towering obelisk, the Fallen Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial, standing tall and proud. Surrounding it are eight smaller memorials, each whispering tales of bravery and resilience. Monument Hill, situated on High Street near the heart of Fremantle, offers a panoramic view of the harbor, creating a serene backdrop for reflection.

Established by the Fremantle Town Council in 1928, this poignant memorial transcends time, commemorating the profound losses of the First World War. Its significance, however, extends beyond its role as a testament to historical events; Monument Hill has been a cherished public reserve since the early 19th century, a space where the community comes together to honor, remember, and pay respects.

Step into the embrace of this hallowed ground, where the echoes of the past resonate through the lush surroundings. Wander through the meticulously maintained site, feeling the weight of history and the enduring spirit of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
