Perth mint - Was a really great experience. Previously had no idea about the purpose of the Perth mint. Was blown away at the size of queens memorial coon

Tour a must if you plan to visit the MInt - The Mint Gold Tour is excellent split between two guides, both informative. Live gold pour is very cool. Not much to see here if you do not get the tour as you are limited to the front retail area were they just sell coins and jewelry. Tour gets you behind the scenes into the foundry and some excellent displays including the 1 tonne gold coin and chance to handle a gold bar.

A definite must see item during your stay in Perth - A great tour with a very informative host who explained everything and still left us with time to explore. Unfortunately the gold pour wasn't available during our visit - I guess that just means will have to repeat when next in Perth

A definite one to add to your visit list when in Perth - A great tour, with an excellent host who made the explanations interesting. Only downside was the gold pour wasn't operating - so will have to save that until the next visit to Perth

Worth a tour - Gets fully booked at busy times so make sure you book in advance. Even on the same day at Easter tickets were selling fast. Not very friendly initial greeting on the desk. Tour guide was very enthusiastic and we enjoyed the gold pour. Just to let you know that it does go dark for a while and you are not allowed to move from your seat. It was interesting to see the gold pour

Fascinating insight into gold and the Mint - Nicole was a lively and enthusiastic guide, great charisma. The tour was interesting (alas the gold pouring element was under repair), with amazing artefacts and examples and the history of the Mint was well explained

Gold Dust! - If you want bullion get there early before ur tour to register. Very serious experience... The Gold pour is impressive, that will be the closest people ever get to such wealth.
