Campus Tour

The UWA Campus at Crawley

With Stirling Highway and some of the Residential Colleges in the foreground, you can see the entire layout of the campus, stretching out towards the Swan River which wraps around the east and south borders of the grounds. Royal Perth Yacht Club, once home to the America's Cup, sits at the top left of this picture.

Winthrop Hall and Tower

Winthrop Tower is the tallest building on campus. Situated on the western end of Winthrop Hall, it is visible for miles around. Some eight stories high, views from the top include Royal Perth Yacht Club just the other side of the Guild Village, the Perth city skyline behind King's Park, and towards the coast over the surrounding suburbs of Nedlands and Shenton Park. A part of Winthrop Hall, its clock tower, and part of the original Hackett Memorial Buildings were made possible through a generous bequest from the founding father and first Chancellor, Sir Winthrop Hackett.

This decorative frieze, finished in 1932, can be found surrounding the top of Winthrop Hall. Such detail adds to the Renaissance feel of this magnificent building.
