The Swan Bells are a set of 18 bells hanging in a specially built 82.5 metre copper and glass campanile in Perth, Western Australia. The tower is commonly known as The Bell Tower or the Swan Bell Tower.
The tower was designed by the local architects Hames Sharley. The 18 bells have a combined weight of about 9 tonnes and, when rung, exert considerable forces on the support structure.
An inlaid path made of ceramic tiles initially surrounded the tower, with each tile consisting of a list of some of the youngest and oldest cohorts of students from nearly every school in Western Australia from 1999, arranged alphabetically by school name. As of March 2014, the tiles were removed as part of the elizabeth quay project, but have since been reinstalled in a new artwork to the east of the tower.
This is where the significance of this location comes into play here for myself. I attended Applecross Primary School in 1999 and have my name on the Artwork, i hope for many years to come.
