The Old Court House - the oldest standing building in the city centre
The Old Court House Law Museum now has an audio tour available for all our visitors.
Housed in Perth’s oldest building, the Old Court House Law Museum is unique to Australia and one of a very small number of law museums worldwide. The museum is dedicated to historic items relating to the history and development of law in Western Australia.
The free fifteen minute self-guided tour is a moving and creative interpretation of the site including its significance prior to the establishment of the Swan River Colony and the changes in the use of the space and building over time. It reflects on the architecture as well as significant trials, meetings and other events.
Many people contributed to the production of the tour including Noongar elders Reverend Sealin Garlett, Richard Wally, Doolan Leisha Eatts and Irene Stanton, as well as Chief Justice Wayne Martin, Professor Geoffrey Bolton and Geraldine Byrne.
Funding for the tour was received from Lotterywest and the Law Society of Western Australia.
The Old Court House Law Museum in Stirling Gardens, Perth, is open Wednesday to Friday from 10 am to 2.30pm.
Please request the hand-held audio tour from staff at the museum.

The Boheme Bar
Thanks to the generosity of the Wentworth Plaza Hotel, we are giving you the chance to win one of two $50 vouchers to enjoy at The Boheme Bar and Restaurant.
Dating back to the turn of the century, the Wentworth Plaza Hotel stood alongside the Bohemia Hotel. Through time the two have combined and is now known solely as the Wentworth plaza Hotel boasting the classy Boheme Bar & Restaurant, the name being a derivation of the old hotels name. Today the beautifully restored building has a state of the art fit out that is inspired by the classic glamour of the roaring 20’s.
To enter the competition, click here and enter your contact details. Entry closes Friday 28 January 2012. The lucky winner will be notified by mail and announced in the Autumn Heritage Perth Newsletter.
