What it is
The historic bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields were given to Western Australia as part of the 1988 bicentenary of Australia, and the tower opened in 2000 to hold them. Together with additional bells cast later, they form one of the largest sets of change-ringing bells in the world.
Visitors can see the ringing chamber and climb to an observation deck with views over the river and Elizabeth Quay; the bells are rung at set times.
Getting there by bus
The free Blue CAT stops at Barrack Square, right in front of the tower. Elizabeth Quay station on the Mandurah and Yanchep lines and the Elizabeth Quay Jetty for ferries to South Perth are a few minutes' walk away.
On St Georges Terrace, at the top of Barrack Street, the stands before and after Barrack Street are served by many routes, among them 24, 27, 111, 160, 935 and 940.
