Whilst some parts of Australia prospered from ‘the sheep’s back” Western Australia literally dug its wealth from the hard ground of the Pilbara. The Perth Mint is the end result of this toil and is a major local tourist attraction.
Situated in a grand heritage building close to the CBD, the Mint is the oldest operating in the country and amongst the world’s oldest still operating from its original premises.
The Mint co-produced the 2000 Olympic gold medals and is home to ‘The Golden Beauty” one of the worlds largest nuggets weighing in at 369 ounces! Exhibitions of gold bars and gold pouring demonstrations make it the perfect venue to let go of all those pent up “Goldmember’ jokes
