Perth - St George's Terrace

The Aboriginal Art Gallery features works on display and for sale and is run by Aboriginal Arts Australia.

The Barracks Archway, a four-story Tudor-style structure in mellow orange-red brick, is the only relic of the Pensioner Barracks of 1863, demolished to make way for the Mitchell Freeway.

Opposite King Street, which runs north off St George's Terrace, is the Old Perth Boys' School (1853), a neo-Gothic building of ecclesiastical aspect which was taken over by the Technical College in 1898, and is now occupied by the National Trust, with a well stocked bookshop and gift shop.

The former Palace Hotel (1895) was a grand hotel of gold boom days and is now, after thorough restoration, part of the Rural and Industries Bank of Western Australia.

Beyond the Palace Hotel is the bank's modern headquarters, Perth's newest high-rise block, considerably overtopping the older skyscraper of the AMP insurance corporation on the opposite side of the intersection. From the roof terrace of the AMP building there are good views of Perth and its suburbs, extending to the ocean in the west and the Darling Range in the east.

Parliament House was constructed in a modern style.

Opposite the Treasury Building, on the south side of St George's Terrace, are the attractive Stirling Gardens with a botanic garden established in 1845.

The Cloisters, a two-story building of 1858 in dark-colored brick, was originally a boys' school. It is now part of the offices of the Mount Newman Mine Company.

The Trinity Church Chapel (1877) is an ornate church in Victorian style.
