From
Through the streets of this vibrant and flourishing City, see art, indigenous
story, settlement and connection with world events. View Princess Royal
Harbour, the channel to King George Sound and the peninsulas beyond. See how
the city center nestles into the valley and the expanse of surrounding natural
bushland.
At the National ANZAC Centre interactive displays will take you on an
intimate journey of a participant in the conflict. Under the shade of trees
planted to remember fallen soldiers, the Avenue of Honour leads to the
Memorial of the Desert Mounted Corps. The dawn service is Padre White’s
story. Take in the view that the departing ANZAC Troops had before they sailed
onwards to war; for some of them, the last vision of homeland at the peak of
Mt Clarence.
Curving around Mt Adelaide , Breaksea Island comes into view and
stories of the construction of the lighthouse and its connection to the ANZAC
narrative are revealed. Pause a moment to absorb the vista of the ocean and
perhaps, if lucky, a glimpse of sheltering whales and calves. Journeying into
the city centre, along the way we drive past the oldest farm in Western
Australia and learn of the contribution it made to the social life and
nourishment of the early community; a property with a chequered history.
Visit one of the earliest homes in Australia at Patrick Taylor Cottage.
And in a quiet moment with a refreshment speak with your local Tour Guide and
