Boom and Bust: Perth CBD Self-Guided Walking Tour Route Launch

Join an eclectic mix of Perth champions – entrepreneurs, history buffs, gourmands, creators, and tourism providers. Over nibbles and drinks, we’ll showcase the City’s coming of age tale told through Perth’s changing people, places and prospects. You’ll have an opportunity to download the Dark Stry mobile app to see history differently and try out our latest immersive experience. It’s a novel way to connect with fellow Perth champions. The event includes a grazing table, wine & soft drinks, and special early access to the Dark Stry Boom & Bust route. This event is made possible due to the generous sponsorship of the City of Perth and Spaces – The Wentworth.

The Dark Stry app is the smarter way to see history differently. We use technology to deliver affordable local, self-guided tours with immersive stories that blend photos, videos & audio in the palm of your hand.

Dark Stry’s Boom and Bust route tells Perth’s story from the struggling Swan River Colony to its coming of age as the City of Light. This self-guided walking tour is our love letter to Perth’s people, places and prospects – explore 200 years of the City’s changing fortunes in just three hours. On arrival at each tour stop, the Dark Stry app weaves together juicy stories of what happened and where with an immersive mix of audio, transcripts, photos, and interactive content.
