A needlelike tower, wrapped in copper sails, was specially built to house a complete “ring” of 18 bells, 12 with centuries of history from London’s St. Martin-in-the-Fields (given to Perth for Australia’s Bi-Centenary), and the others specially cast. The tower stands out above Barrack Street Jetty on the Swan River, immediately below the city. It has had to be soundproofed to minimize disturbing people working nearby but, as a result, can hardly be heard away from the jetty.
