The Bell Tower - Perth, Western Australia

-
The Bell Tower is located in the city of Perth on Barrack Square Riverside Drive, surrounded by restaurants and ferry pier. We reached there around 3.45pm on a Sunday afternoon and we were the last group to enter the Bell Tower. Since we only left 15 minutes before the Bell Tower closed at 4pm, we went for the general entry instead of the bell tower experience which includes 5 public areas of the Tower and participation in the interactive bell chiming demonstration. We took a quick stroll and spent our last 15 minutes at the observation deck.

Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of Swan River, Elizabeth Quay, Kings Park and City of Perth at the observation deck. Besides that, they even have love locks at the entrance to the Bell Tower. You may lock your love with your soul mate by purchasing the lock at the price of $35 includes engraving of two names and a date.

Information: Chiming demonstration are conducted from Monday to Saturday, every half an hour from 10.30am to 2.30pm. The bell ringers ring every Monday and Thursday, 12pm to 1pm so no chiming demonstration take place during these times. 

{Ticket: Adult - $9 for general entry (access to the tower's interior) or $18 for the bell tower experience (chiming demonstration)}

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
