Perth - Victoria Square

Perth Mint, where coins are struck and gold bars cast, is open to visitors.

Visit the Melting House where you can watch 200 ounces of pure gold being poured to form a solid gold bar. The original vault from 1899 houses the world's largest collection of gold bars and natural nuggets.

The Post and Telecom Museum is housed in the former Government Printing Office (c 1870).

The Royal Perth Hospital is somewhat overshadowed by the tower block added to it after the Second World War. Within the hospital complex, on Wellington Street, is the original small Colonial Hospital of 1853, with roofed terraces.

St Mary's Cathedral is an imposing neo-Gothic church consecrated in 1865. The site for the cathedral was included in the first plan of Perth in 1838.
