Perth Mint...The City's Jewel in the crown
I could write so much about this place....but if I did I would spoil your experience!
From the very beginning of the tour it was packed with such a lot of information that was not only factual, but delivered in a very entertaining way by the guide.
I was held captivated throughout the whole experience and after the tour we were able to spend as long as we wanted, looking at all the gold!
We even got a chance to touch an ingot which was in a vault that had a hole in a perspect viewing window!
It truly is an amazing place to visit and witness gold being taken from the furnace and poured into a mould!
Whilst waiting for the tour to begin ( every hour on the half hour) we were able to look around a sales area. which displayed jewellery of all descriptions, and pink diamonds! They were for sale... but the price tags were far too expensive for me!
However, there is another more affordable sales area and as you exit the tour. there is a scale where you can see what your weight in gold is....I was over 8 million AUD!!
You can also purchase a personally engraved 24ct Gold plated coin for a very reasonable price.
All in all this was a magnificent golden opportunity to learn about gold from its origins to its discovery... development of the goldfields of Coolgardie and Kallgoolie...to its final state.
If you are fortunate enough to visit the city of Perth...leave yourself plenty of time to visit this fabulous attraction.

The Perth Mint
#travelanywhere #australiatrip
Visiting The Perth Mint was a fascinating journey into Western Australia's rich history of gold mining and coin production. Located in Perth's East End, this historic institution showcases the state's precious metal industry through informative exhibits and interactive displays. Exploring the mint's heritage precinct, I learned about Australia's largest gold bullion coin, the Australian Kangaroo Gold Nugget, and witnessed skilled craftsmen creating intricate designs on precious metal coins. The guided heritage tour provided a deeper understanding of the mint's role in shaping Australia's economy and its significance in the global precious metals market. Whether admiring the world's largest collection of gold nuggets on display or browsing the gift shop for unique souvenirs, The Perth Mint offers a captivating and educational experience that highlights Western Australia's golden legacy.

The Perth Mint is a historic institution and a treasure trove of precious metals located in the heart of Western Australia's capital. It played a crucial role in the state's gold rush era and continues to produce some of the world's finest bullion coins and bars.

You can also witness meticulous craftsmanship behind the minting process at certain hours. The Mint's museum has an impressive collection of rare coins and gold nuggets. A must-visit destination if you have an interest in precious metals and the history of Australian mining.
