Below are some snaps from our week 4 excursion to the Perth Mint and the Bell Tower. What a magic day - finding out about the refining of gold into gold bars and trying our hand at ringing the bells. They're not as easy to ring as you would expect!
 |
| We watched a demonstration of gold pouring. |
 |
| Our tour guide, John, showed us the finished gold bar. |
 |
| This is a fake gold nugget! |
 |
| Amazingly our tour guide at the Bell Tower was also named John! |
 |
| We all had a turn at trying to make the bells ring. |
