WA revamps appeal

WESTERN Australian tourism attraction The Perth Mint has undergone renovations in a bid to increase its appeal to travellers when borders are reopened.

The building has an upgraded foyer and jewellery boutique, including the new Pink Diamond Room, and has also added new geological specimens to its popular gold exhibition.

MeanWhile the state has also seen a family-run cruise company rebrand to Sea West, bringing Mandurah Cruises, Rottnest Cruises and Broome Cruises all under one umbrella.

The company will also soon expand its fleet, with its South West Cruises division to start culinary tours in early 2022, operating out of Dunsborough in the Margaret River region.

In addition to sightseeing and catch-and-cook experiences, Sea West also includes BBQ boating cruises, luxury experiences and on-deck cooking classes.
