Looking back at the Esplanade gardens towards the city, from close to Kings Park. On the far right is the narrow spire of the Swan Bells, the city's massive carillon.

The Esplanade/Alf Curlewis Gardens, part of the network of great parkland sitting between the CBD buildings and the river.

The Swan River looking east towards the Perth Hills in the distance. The Swan Bells, with their brown copper base and glass spire are on the left. The bells are self-described as “the world's largest musical instrument,” and include a set of historic bells from St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, which are said to have rung in 1787 when Captain Cook set out on the voyage in which he found Australia.
