Treasures of WA: Gold and Pearls
$55
EAST PERTH & ELIZABETH QUAY
PRIVATE GROUPS ONLY | 4- 16 GUESTS | 210 MINUTES
Discover two of Western Australia’s most remarkable natural treasures - gold and pearls - in one unforgettable Perth experience.
Experience Itinerary
Step inside The Perth Mint, the world oldest operating mint and home to the world's largest gold coin.
The enormous version of the admired Australian Kangaroo series is crafted from 99.99% pure gold with a value of over $150 million. Along with extraordinary gold nuggets, historic coins, and some of the most famous medals, guests can even hold a solid gold bullion bar worth more than $1.5 million.
Be dazzled by gold in its most dramatic form as your guide demonstrates a live gold pour, transforming molten gold into a gleaming solid bar right before your eyes.
After your gold experience, continue your journey through Perth towards the Swan River and Elizabeth Quay, where the next chapter of Western Australia’s treasure story awaits.
Step inside the world of Australian South Sea pearl farming as you discover a Pinctada maxima oyster sourced directly from Willie Creek Pearl Farm in Broome. Learn how years of expert care and the pristine waters of the Kimberley combine to produce one of the world's most sought-after natural gems.
Experience the thrill of discovering what nature has created as your oyster is carefully opened to reveal the hidden pearl inside. Because every pearl forms naturally, its size, quality and value remain a complete surprise until the unforgettable moment it is harvested before your eyes.
