This week we found out all abut the history of gold in Perth by taking the Gold Trail and visiting Perth Mint. The gold trail takes you to some of the oldest places in Perth. We don't usually walk around the city so it was exiting finding new places and admiring all the different styles of architecture.
The trail ends at Perth Mint where we took the tour into the museum and gold pouring area. We saw the World's largest coin; at 1 tonne it's made from about $60 million worth of gold.
R discovered that even if the gold hadn't been bolted down it was too heavy to carry away!
