Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia29,079 contributionsThe Bell Tower is striking in design and prominent next to the Swan River and houses twelve bells St Martins in The Fields and designed to commemorate Australia's Bicentenary in 1988. Two other bells came from London and three donated by a mining consortium. Enjoy the interesting architecture.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rochelle FRandolph, NJ1,140 contributionsWhile staying in Perth, it is nice to walk around the Harbour. There are lots of restaurants, and activity here (vs CBD at night which is so quiet). You can catch a boat ride down the Swan River, sit and people watch or walk over the bridge, which is lit at night.Written 6 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China174,810 contributionsThis is a beautifully arranged memorial centred around a 18 metre tall Cenotaph located along the Ceremonial Walk near the the botanical gardens and eastern end of Kings Park, overlooking the river
The memorial was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs and dedicated in 1929 in memory of Australian servicemen and women who perished during WWI. It now commemorates those fallen in later conflicts which involved Australians as well. What you will also see in addition to the original Cenotaph are the Court of Contemplation, Eternal Flame, Reflection Pool and ANZAC Bluff Plaque.
Well worth spending a few minutes to pay respects and admire the State War Memorial if planning to visit and spend time in this section of Kings Park.Written 13 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very close to the visitors centre and close to the botanic gardens. Well worth a visit, not just to the monument of course, but to King's Park as a whole.Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- westy54Sydney, Australia12,807 contributionsThe Barracks Arch is a three storey Tudor style building made of bricks that resembles an English castle. It is located on the corner of Malcolm and Elder Streets at the Western end of St Georges Terrace.
The barracks complex was built between 1863 and 1866 to house the Enrolled Pensioner Force and their families who originally acted as guards on convict ships. The building was later extended to house more families.
The Barracks was gradually converted to offices from 1900.
All of the Barracks buildings other than the arch and two towers were demolished in the 1960's to facilitate the building of the Michell Freeway. It is only thanks to a conservationist movement that these were saved.

This 1929 sculpture was unveiled during the night to create a belief among children that it has been placed there by fairies.Written 3 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,341 contributionsVery unusual metallic statuary right by Elizabeth Quay bridge. As we approached we thought it was a penguin.
Info boards tell us it commemorates the first European arrivals to Perth and that's the indigenous people saw them approach with their sails, they thought they were birds from afar
Worth a photo stop.Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was her first official trip to Australia. King's Park has many monuments. This tree is a River Red Gum, it is found all over Australia. The tree can live from 500 to 1,000 years. It is known for its durable, red-hued timber. In summer, its spreading branches provides shade and bees forage for nectar amongst its flowers. The River Red Gum is surely a symbol of longevity.Written 22 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,543 contributionsThis artwork was created by James Angus and has it's own website that states;-"I am a biomorphic form, a non representational pattern that resembles a living organism. I live in Forrest Place and am fond of tequila."
That's probably why one of it's nicknames is “That Giant Green Blob”.
Abstract art certainly arouses conflicting opinions. It was purchased by the State Government and located in Forrest Place in 2011. Costing $1m, it was "said to represent a living organism and sense of regional identity with Perth and WA".Written 8 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was a surveyor/explorer but also the first Premier of Western Australia.
There are good info boards about his life and times near the statue.Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

His service to WA was recognized by the voters of WA until his death at the age of 96. His contribution to Australia was profound. His son Richard also became Premier, and Margaret Court is rated as the world's best women modern tennis champion. The extractive industries he helped create in WA include nickel, gold, iron ore and petroleum. They made Western Australia a wealthy State. Sir Charles Court helped create the culture of WA. He was an outgoing person; his home telephone number was in the White Pages, and he was always open to personal discussion. Sir Charles Court is among the greatest Australians.Written 10 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,543 contributionsThis artwork was installed in front of the Cathedral approx. 10 years ago and I have often wondered when passing just what it represented. Finally received an explanation which contradicted another version.
It is an abstract interpretation of the legend of St. George and the Dragon and the triumph of good over evil. The black base depicts the body of the slain dragon, the steel pole St. George's lance and the the white billow his cloak and steed.
The other opinion has the steel pole as St. George's lance, the white billow as the slain dragon wrapping itself around the lance and the black base as representing a fragmented landscape.
All just confirms previous reviews of mine on abstract sculptures, I don't understand abstract art.
