In
Week Five, we went on and excursion to the Perth Mint and Bell Tower, as part
of our integrated HASS program. First, we went to the Mint. We got to see a
demonstration about how gold is put into a big furnace turned from a nugget
into a gold bar. We even saw a 1 000 000 dollar gold coin! Next we set of to
the Bell Tower. We learnt that it was built in the year 2000, as a special
Millennium project. We got to see the big “clangers.” The highlights were going
onto the observation deck and getting a 360 degree view of Perth City and
having a go at ringing the bells. We may have some future bell ringers in our
midst.
