The former Perth Down Centre signal box between platforms 4 and 7 (in view) at Perth railway station. Tuesday 4th June 1996
Perth General Station signal box was a Caledonian Railway Company non standard design within the station building that opened on 10th October 1886 fitted with a 41 lever Stevens & Sons Glasgow Old Pattern frame. When opened the signal box only controlled the up lines, but controlled the down and up lines from 9th May 1887. The signal box ceased to control the up lines and was renamed Perth Down Centre upon the opening of Perth Up Centre signal box on 14th May 1893, the lever frame possibly being reduced to 20 levers at the same time. It closed on 26th March 1962 being replaced by signalling controlled by Perth signal box and after closure the lever frame was removed and it was used as a relay room. Perth railway station, including the signal box was awarded Grade B listed building status on 26th August 1977

Perth Stadium located in Burswood adjacent to the Swan River, Armadale railway line and Graham Farmer Freeway. It is the main venue for AFL football replacing Subiaco Oval as the home ground of the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers for the 2018 season. It is also the venue for large-drawing cricket matches what were previously played at the nearby WACA ground. Under a sponsorship arrangement it is currently known as Optus Stadium.
The stadium seats around 60,000 spectators as an oval with the ability to be reconfigured for for a rectangular field with a capacity of 65,000. The development of the Burswood stadium was chosen over a potential redevelopment of Subiaco to a similar capacity ground in mid 2011 - the previous plan was the build in Kitchener Park and demolish the existing Subiaco Oval until theconcept was abandoned in early 2009. The Burswood site selection was made due to its lack of development constraints and the presence of the railway line enabling a large station and sidings to be constructed.
The stadium site was previously part of Burswood Park Public Golf Course which closed and the site was split between the stadium and an adjacent hotel development servicing nearby Crown Casino. Decades prior to that the stadium site was Goodwood Racecourse - located alongside current Belmont Park Racecourse both were privately developed before being taken over by the Western Australian Turf Club in 1945 and Goodwood was subsequently closed.

Oil on canvas, 1907.
John Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961) was one of the most important and influential artists in Britain in the first half of the 20th century. Born in Edinburgh, with ancestral links to Perthshire, he spent much of his career in France and is now most associated with the Scottish Colourist group. The Fergusson Gallery holds his vast collection of artwork and associated archive, along with the archive of his lifelong companion, the pioneer of modern dance, Margaret Morris.
The collections were gifted in two major donations; the Fergusson Collection was donated by the J D Fergusson Art Foundation in 1991, following which the Margaret Morris Archive was gifted in 2010.
The Gallery is housed in the former Perth Water Works of 1832. It is one of Scotland's most significant industrial buildings and is the earliest identified example of a large scale cast-iron building in Scotland. It may be the very first in the world. Occupying a critical corner site at one of the main entry points to the city, its rotunda with dome and tall engine house chimney is visible from many vantage points, providing the city with one of its most distinctive landmarks.
The Water Works was built to designs by Adam Anderson, the rector of Perth Academy. Clean water was drawn from filter beds at Moncreiffe Island in the Tay and pumped under the river by a steam-engine into the tank within the rotunda. It held 146,000 gallons of water producing enough to supply nearly all the town's commercial and residential needs. The buildings became redundant when a new city waterworks was opened in 1965. The original urn atop the engine house chimney was destroyed by lightning in 1871.
It was restored in 1973 for use as a Tourist Information Centre by James Morris & Robert Steedman. The building was further converted to an art gallery for the display of JD Fergusson's works and other temporary exhibitions in 1992. The dome was reconstructed by Bell Ingram Design in 2003 as part of a £1 million restoration funded by The Heritage Lottery, Historic Scotland and Perth & Kinross Council to safeguard its national significance as a key monument to Scottish water engineering.
