The Caledonian, North British and Highland Railways all met in Perth, and the vast levels of traffic between them demanded a large interchange station and supporting goods facilities. The station was designed by Sir William Tite in 1848, who was also responsible the design of Carlisle station, where many similarities can be observed. Although major alterations took place between 1885-1887 and 1911, much of Tite's Tudoresque design remains visible today.

"Visitors and residents often describe the City of Perth as a parkland oasis.
There aren't many cities in the world which mix commerce and retail with beautifully crafted green open space combining heritage, public art and water features. This attribute is considered a major asset and plays a central role in city planning strategies.
Within the city boundaries there are 16 major parkland areas and many smaller parks, road reserves and car parks covering a total of 140 hectares in area. The Swan River foreshore parklands form a 10 kilometre natural boundary for the City."
The fantastic Perth Youth Orchestra gave a bravura performance of orchestral favourites including a rousing rendition of Holst's 'Planets'.
