notes from 2005[edit]

Here's why I tempered the "largest set in the world" comment: click on the "higher number" panel here and compare the Swan Bells to Dublin. Doops | talk 02:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Would swan bells really be considered a 'major' tourist attraction, with its losses and general lack of interest. the perth zoo takes over 500,000 visitors per YEAR, thats a major attraction. 300,000 in 6 years is pretty poor. i might look into average yearly intakes for 'major' tourist attractions, as it doesnt seem to me this would qualify. .cheers. will remove this reference to 'major', would appreciate an explanation to anyone reverting it,cheers,scott

New photo[edit]

I recently uploaded a new photo of the Swan Bells from 2007 (right). It's similar to the existing one but higher res and from a different angle and direction. Feel free to use if useful. Dcoetzee 19:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
