Crimes of Perth Walking Tour
Delve into Perth's dark underbelly: executions, murders, corporate crime, gangland slaughters, opium dens, brothels — even the Nazi Party. Adults only.
Perth walking tour
Journey back in time through this tranquil and unique group of cemeteries dating to the 1830s, when Perth was first established. Situated high on a hill above the Swan River, these colonial cemeteries — and the people buried in them between 1830 and 1899 — tell the stories of our city and state across their first seventy years.
As the tour winds through the grounds you'll encounter the graves of notable members of the Swan River Colony alongside lesser-known people who lived extraordinary lives in extremely difficult circumstances: tales of murder, migration, adversity and involuntary transportation to one of the most remote places on Earth.
This tour is run in partnership with the National Trust of Australia (WA); $5 from every tour goes towards the conservation and management of the site. Not suitable for children under 16.
