Boom-and-Bust: self-guided historical walking tour of Perth

Explore 200 years in an afternoon! This tour tells Perth’s story from the struggling Swan River Colony to its coming of age as the City of Light. Each stop on the tour progressively tells Perth’s story decade-by-decade. The tour includes current-day and historical footage to show how each shift in the State’s fortunes has driven waves of demolition, development and social change.

Boom-and-bust showcases quintessentially Western Australian stories such as: > The City’s strange obsession with heritage balconies > The ancient science of indigenous farming practices > Perth’s ‘scandalous’ modernist art movement > London Court: the first place in Perth to have air-conditioning > The rise, fall and rise again of Alan Bond
