**Explore 200 years of Western Australia's changing fortunes in an afternoon. **
The Boom and Bust tour follows Perth's history from struggling Swan River Colony to its coming of age as the City of Light. From First Contact to the present day, each stop on this self-guided tour progressively tells Perth’s story decade-by-decade. This self-guided tour showcases quintessentially Western Australian stories such as the City’s strange obsession with heritage balconies, the ancient science of indigenous farming, and the fight to save Perth's historical buildings.
