3:46 if this is the thing you're referring to that you wanna know more about, this is the Perth Bell Tower. It's a massive tower in Perth City near the riverbank (somewhere) that plays host to several levels of smaller bells and a singular large bell nearer to the top. I believe the telescope is on the balcony about halfway up, at the top of the rusted brown metal things. The Bell tower works on a perfectly functional clock, and if the city's not too busy or loud the chimes can be heard from a fair way away, especially considering it's in the city. Seeing the bells up close during a school excursion when I was little was amazing, I'm honestly not sure if they do tours commercially but if they do absolutely go there. It's beautiful, seeing the bells and all the ropes and machinery that make them ring, all surrounded by the landscape of the area.
Kings Park is the biggest inner city park in the world. Bigger than Central Park in NY.
Hey. you said Ello., you have been influenced by England...
More PERTH here love it. I been to eastern states but was happy to be back in Perth. Keep up the fun Vids mate.
You must have bad subway there in Australia it's the best fast food
I was born and bred in Perth. I spent 7 years working interstate but came back to raise a family. Yes, I'm prejudiced, but I still call it God's own piece of heaven on earth. Try it for yourself and see.
Perth's American sister City is San Diego.American Astronault John Glenn orbited the earth 3 times in 1962, in the Friendship 7 spacecraft.Flying over Perth, the people turned on their lights to acknowledge his mission.Glenn observed that the City was clearly visible from space, and Perth became known worldwide as the City of Light.
Yaaaay!! Thank you so much for looking at WA! We are the most isolated capital city in the world, and also the sunniest capital city in the world. It’s closer to travel to Indonesia or Singapore from Perth than it is to any other city in Aus. We get very ignored by the rest of the country because we’re so far away. But there’s beauty in that isolation. We have 50% of Aus’s native flora and fauna, and our state has everything from tropics, desert, mountain, Mediterranean, very dramatic southern coastline (with sand so white it’s like snow and squeaks under your feet). I’m Freo (Fremantle - Perth’s port city) born. I’ve lived all over the world - Kenya, Switzerland, France - and travelled extensively (every continent except Antarctica), also lived in Sydney - and there is something special about WA. Watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean at one of our amazing beaches (which often times you have all to yourself!) - enjoying a glass of wine or beer - watching the dolphins, black swans, galahs, cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets etc… there’s nothing like it
"I see you" Me looking at the window in concern: wtf
Yes I'm in Perth! Born and Bred here!
Hey yank how about you spoil it for everyone who lives there already ,fact is there is a crime wave , housing shortage ,a theiving state government, a crappy road system shit public transport, and the locals don't like visitors ,
Perth is the favoured city of British migrants.
Born overseas, grew up in Sydney & moved to Perth over 30 years ago. I came with a mass influx from the Eastern States in the early 1990's. The Eastern States has a lot to offer, but Perth has the right balance of so many things that makes living here, the best, as far as I'm concerned. It's a city but doesn't have the crazy fast pace of stress normally associated with city life. It's kind of where country meets city from my perspective. You still have all the modern conveniences but can easily access farm produce. People are friendly which you don't expect in a city environment. If you love the outdoors lifestyle, especially for raising kids, then this State is optimal. It really is the best kept secret.
Perth is our home .. our state …it’s absolutely beautiful .. perfect for families
Yes we are from Perth and want to keep our place a secret, ok!
I'm lucky enough to be born and bred in Perth. Beautiful city
I was born in Perth, and lived in the Kimberley and Pilbara. Now back in Perth. Kayaking on the Swan River last weekend, snorkelling on Rotto (Rottnest Island, that little island that appeared in the video with Perth in the distance) tomorrow. Might even get a selfie with a Quokka. 37 degrees Celsius (nearly 100 F) the last four days as we start Autumn (Fall), so no need for a wet suit. Yeah Perth is pretty great when you think about it. We're as far from Sydney as Moscow is from London. The most isolated capital city in the world is the place to live.
That building that looks like the inside of your computer is the building I work in, :) My house is where all those grape vines are growing. Also, Kings Park does put Central Park NY to shame. It is actually the biggest municipal park in the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3KxdoZYZFo&ab_channel=WorldTasticMore recent drone footage which is better. Perth is a modern clean city with the beaches that match the best in the world. WA coastine stretches over 12,000kms (7,500 miles) and Perth metro coastline is aprox 160kms (100 miles) with stunning beaches - pure white soft sand and clean blue ocean with many good surf spots. Perth metro covers some 6,400 km2 or 2,500 sq milesPerth is not overcrowded like the bigger cities of Sydney & Melbourne, so lifestyle is pretty damn good.
I live just outside the Swan Valley (where all those wineries you saw are). It's a 5 minute drive from me. Absolutely love Perth. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
the vid is old the museum closed a while ago and was rebilt
Its not happy ARVO when we great any time of day slang is for a group g’day or g’day mate for a person. Steve - Perth, Western Australia
When the Royal Perth yacht club won the Americas cup in 1883, the defence for the cup was held in Fremantle in 1987
Perth is my home. It's beautiful
Bloody awesome living in Perth, unless you’ve travelled to various other countries within a vast range of socio economic conditions…….you just take for granted the incredible lifestyle, advantages, health care, welfare, and history of our city. ……all of the history needs telling………: chronological order preferably…….meaning the past 250 years should have less study in schools devoted to it, the 50 000 + years preceding it has the key to sustainable liveable societies that know the bush,foods,medicines,seasons, humour,languages in the hundreds, ways of healing , and so much more……..so little time for us to learn so much. One of the biggest lies in society is that we can’t feed all the people of the world………… Australia’s food wastage last year could have fed an entire 3rd world country with pop the size of Somalia(approx 17 million as opposed to our approx 26 million people. Oops ,had a touch of rantfever
And yes Perth is beautiful .All of WA is.
that was so funny Ryan,you sound like a Pommie not an Aussie,but hey A for Effort.
Come down be a Perthling for a while.
I think Perth is (or was) the World’s most isolated Capital city, and it’s very hot even winter isn’t winter here. I don’t own any winter clothing anyway lols.
Perthite here it is lovely
Not only did Australian have a gold rush, but it was so massive that its pretty much the only reason we have a population. if you look at our 'penal colony' population its nothing untill roughly 1850-ish. then it explodes- 1851 was when we first started mining gold, and have a surge of free immigrants come and make the population three-fold in less than 20 years. So anytime anyone tells you that Australian is a penal colony, you can correct them and say that its actually a free-immigrant country! (and still is today, with approx 36% of the country born outside of australia). Almost nobody can trace their heritage back to the penal colony days, except maybe some first nations people (im of aboriginal decent, but im not passing and dont live the culture, even though i grew up around the community. I mostly identify with my Scottish heritage)
Well mate I feel sorry f2f or you living in Indiana ha ha because I live in perth
Perth is pretty and loved visiting there. I'm from the southwest and it gets more lush and green, the whole WA state also the vineyards with grapes are for making wine Margaret River (wine region in the southwest) and Swan Valley (Perth).
Looks like a prettier version of Southern California.
Perth here... wouldn't live anywhere else
I live in Perth - Came over here in 1968 from the UK and have never left.....Yes it is beautiful and so is the south west especially Margaret River....check out some videos on that area
As a proud Perthling I’m pleased to see you enjoyed seeing my home city. I’ve lived all over the world and Aust. Perth is as good as any city gets imho. It really is a beautiful city It’s also kind of special as there is a lot going on but it’s rarely crowded and you have spend time opening doors and peering behind things and boom it’s all going on. Not as showy as east coast cities. Perth just does it’s thing. You would enjoy it.
I've lived in Busselton all my life. Busso's like 3 hours south of Perth and we go up there all the time to visit my aunt and cousins. All I can say is that Perth itself is nice but we all HATE the traffic (and I can't even drive yet)
Yeah, pretty, clean air, nice beaches....but dead boring. I guess it's OK for raising young children but by the time they're teenagers you'd want to move to the east coast for some culture, connectedness and more opportunities for their future. After spending all of my childhood and adult life in Perth, I am really enjoying Queensland. Queensland is so alive, vibrant, stunning and with so much more to explore and experience than the Wait Awhile state
And yet, the Eastern States dickie-whackers will tell you that Perth is a backwater with nothing exciting to do here.
Mate it's not clean here you walk around and see drug attacks all over the place
Was the safest place to live in the COVID pandemic. It's a special place, my only complaint is I wish it was a little cooler in summer.I'm sure one day you will find your way and you will be ready when it does.
I lived in Perth as a child from ages 6 - 13 but my dad was in the airforce and he got posted to Queensland so I grew up there. I love Queensland, but in 2018 I spent a week in Perth with my mother as we were going on a cruise out of Fremantle, and as soon as we landed in Perth I felt like I was coming home. I really wished I had finished growing up there and I want to go back someday.
Born in Perth and have been here all my life. I wouldn’t live anywhere else. The West is the best.
You should try a visit one day. The best times of the year are September-November this is when the wildflowers are out and are really beautiful or late March. December-February are the hottest months. Christmas 2021 it was the hottest city on Earth at 46 degrees Celsius (114 Fahrenheit!). But if you prefer cooler weather, it doesn’t get cold enough to snow. I’ve never seen snow myself. April to late August is when the AFL (Aussie Rules football) is being played. The team to follow is the West Coast Eagles (blue and yellow) and not that other rubbish purple team That’s always fun to go watch.
If you live in Perth, what else do you want? Here is the list: 1) a bullet train from Perth to all the other cities in the state, 2) more international bands/art/museum pieces/cultural displays/artists putting on events/shows, 3) reliable public transport 4) diversify the state portfolio so that it's not so reliant on buggering up the beautiful things everyone lives here for
Is it just me or is everyone else here ignoring that you can hear Ryan talking but you can't hear the video?
Does this have a sound track ? I can hear you but not what you're watching.
Best city in the world ! So lucky to have grown up here as a Sandgroper (Western Australian)
As a Hawaiian born American that moved to Perth as a 2 year old I never knew anything else as home. Until I started travelling,, an wow after seeing a lot of the rest of the world , God I love my home town of Perth, thank my parents so much for there four sight an immigrating to Australia in 1970.
so am I insane or am I the only one that doesn't hear the vod @Ryan Was is watching's narration ????
Our beautiful Perth love ,love,Perth
PS, come, Perth is awesome. Happy arvo. Xx
My Dad retired from the Air Force to here, Perth. I remember getting off a plane from Canberra (previous posting) into a depth of beige landscape. Various and many shades of brown - caramel, wheat, vanilla, beige, mushroom,, camel. A Friend came to get us from Perth Airport, to take us to their country town (Mum, sister, me, and 4mth old sister, Dad and brother driving across the Nullarbor), a huntsman came out of uncle Eric’s car sun visor, while driving at 100 kmph & I lost my shit. Told off for opening the car door before car had stopped. Beige and a sage green. Deep green and unexpected colours. I am a bona fide sandgroper (25 yrs to be called one, 40 yrs now). It is a long way to anywhere else, we like it that way, and is a GORGEOUS place to live.
You are so appreciative of our country. You don’t judge. You are funny. You have taught me so much about my country that I was not aware of. Bravo to you.
I want to do parkor in Ryan's computer
I'm from NSW originally.. came West with my family at 10 never looked back.. love this place and its people.. have lived in Jurien Bay when it was just a fishing village..Coolgardie right in the red rock gold fields and Perth for awhile but now in the South West Peel and Murray Shires
If you can find it online, I recommend a mini series set in Australia's gold rush called New Gold Mountain. I think you'd like it
Ryan please pretty please do one on Margaret RiverYou can learn to surf and there are wineries and breweries.It's everything you need in a holiday it's 3 1/2 hours south of Perth
Perth's alright
Born in Perth and always have lived here. Not overcrowded with people and the city is great. The beaches here are some of the best. If your really wanted to come for a holiday your probably better of going down south to some place like Margaret River, there are lots of things to see and do down there. 1 thing I do have to say is that here in Perth we have Adventure World and compared to America, Adventure World isn't much but I personally find it better than Luna Park in Sydney.
Perth represent born in Sydney and raised all over Aus, and I’m still in Perth, now bringing up my little girl Perth is beautiful and the weather is I live in Scarborough (beach suburb) and can confirm the beaches are among the top
Hey Ryan, mate? What’s the matter with you? Why won’t you un box some more parcels that these wonderful Australians have generosity gifted you? Pull your finger out and open these wonderful people’s parcel’s?
Come for a drive with me, Ryan? On a Australian road trip? https://youtu.be/N-jkESISSzc
The Bell Tower in the pic (the glass spire) was an expensive white elephant when Tricky Dicky Court built it in the 90s and another when they moved it. Hardly anyone visits it. Summary- the Brits sent WA some historic bells as a present for the state's 150th anniversary, but they lay unused for years. Court, who should have reigned in the 1950s so his values would fit in, was a staunch, groveling royal arse-kisser and Brit lover.He was outraged, incensed that the state hadn't built a towering monument for the bells, Dicky saw it as a huge insult to England and the queen. So he quickly had built a wickedly expensive, tasteless, tacky spire to house them, utterly confident it would be WA's number one tourist stop. Oh, the horror! People avoided the pointless edifice in droves. What to do? He pays a huge secret fee to an American PR company. They steal an idea from an American monument that was as useless and as unpopular the bell towers but rose in visits when the plan was finished. What was the plan? To have thousands of WA school kids sign their names on paper slips. The autographs were then etched onto slim tiles, perhaps 1 x 3 inches long. Thousands of kids' autographs were then laid all over the bell tower and surrounds. The idea was the kids would love to see their names etched in perpetuity in a public place and drag their family along to see it. Thus increasing visitor numbers.One of the most cynical, cunning wastes of public money ever.It did work, visitor numbers slightly rose, but let's just say the ambience of many thousands of white tiles wasn't the most eye-pleasing. Very expensive process, and the tiles needed constant upkeep. Then thousands had to be moved when the precinct had more features added. More money. Then a few years after that, the whole thing had to be moved again, to make way for Elizabeth Quay, a waterfront development. More money wasted.It was a useless public monument to a driven man's grand folly. Tiles added when he couldn't admit his error. Moved & improved, but barely any more visitors. A costly glorious absurdity.
Yeah, Perth's close to where they found the radioactive capsule - only about 1300 km (800 miles or so). Not much of a distance for Western Australia. The thing you wanted to know more about is a carillion - bell-tower down on the Perth Esplanade near the Swan River, where the ferries come in. The trees do have bark, but it's often smooth (depending on the variety of tree). Those are gum (eucalypt) trees. Australia's gold rush was from the 1850's but gold wasn't found in WA till the 1880's and they had to invent different methods of separating out the nuggets because there was no water to 'pan' with. Between Kalgoorlie and Boulder is the "Golden Mile" of gold-rich territory. I grew up in Perth. Beautiful place.
Haha “why would you grow grapes & not make wine?” I ask myself this all the time My grapevines grow along the top of my verandah providing shade in summer & sunlight in winter as well as a healthy snack as we walk in & out…but wine would be good too
No, I'm living in Brisbane, I have been to Perth once though, back in 1998, I was 6.
Come for a drive with me, handsome Ryan? And enjoy the north coast of New South Wales? https://youtu.be/PKfxCFoAn94
Come for a drive with me, handsome Ryan? Driving around my country town? You will! Be interested? https://youtu.be/-YQptiq9mz4
If you go south from Perth its even better. Like Albany 4hours drive south
I think the gold in a Australia was bigger then in California
I moved to Perth from Sydney 23 years ago. Never looked back. Awesome city.
The video is outdated but still great and got married at the winery in the video
Central Park in New York: 3.41 square km. Kings Park in Perth: 4.06 square km. 'Nough said.
Ryan! I s Jace attacking you?
All Australian cities are clean mate....
Shhhhh, stop telling everyone! We like being the only one on the beach here. Perth, the best kept secret.
Was I the only one who couldn't hear the video? I could hear Ryan but that was all.
Perth boy here.
Umm no sound from the video?
Finally my city
Hello from Perth .We have the cheapest houses in Australia .350K AUD will buy you a house compared to the east which will cost you 800k +
Whats your profession maybe you could immagrate here
Fun fact, Perth is the most isolated city in the world due to its location on the Indian Ocean. Hubby and I drove from Perth to Monkey Mia, the long straight roads for hours upon hours are hypnotic, definitely needed the Trivia questions. Stunningly beautiful part of the world, the wines of Margaret River are exquisite
Perth is not on sea it on a river
Kings Park is the largest city park in the world. I find it absolutely amazing that it was slated to be a park from almost day 1 and not rich housing with fantastic views!Edit: Kings Park isn't the largest, as someone commented, I was rather incorrect, it is the largest INNER CITY parkI was born and bred about an hour south of Perth but I now live in a suburb of Perth. I'm surprised they didn't include any quokkas or penguin islandThe weather here is AMAZING! You can get a bit of sun year round, even though we do get the same amount of rain as London, it falls on much much fewer days! My Irish husband said he never wants to go back to Ireland as the lifestyle here is exactly what he wants, sailing, fishing, boating, the beach.
Don't know was there for less than 24 hours lol
Perth is THE best!!! Born and Raised, wouldn't live anywhere else!!!
Perth is still in the 1900's they don't like change or being apart of australia, and they aren't a big city at all
CORRECTION TO TITLE:Perth is not part of australia.thank you.<3 vic
Born and raised in Perth WA for 64 years and wouldn't want to be anywhere else
No Audio from the video came through lol, very odd to have just your comments.
Perth is a hole maté Western Australia is called wait awhile
Why did it show all the old buildings lol
Aw mate you don't want to go to Perth there's much better towns around Perth like Albany, Margaret River ect the park is called Kings Park and that "American tree" is called a Boab tree. The green glass building is the bell tower and you need to pay to get to the top. But yeah mate Perth is quite isolated it's more the head quarters of the big mining companies that we have here in WA there's hardly any media industries. But yeah Na mate there's much better places to visit in wa other than Perth have a Google about wa and you'll be amazed as there's places that get over looked as most tourists visit the east side.
Ryan u gotta grow grapes to make your wine lmao.
My son had his reception up on the bell tower.
I am a true blue West Aussie and proud of it
Been to Perth a few times. The people are just as friendly as the the scenery is beautiful.
