About this audio guide
This guide to Reabold Hill Summit Lookout in Bold Park, City Beach, unpacks the odd story behind its name, a nineteen forty-four mash-up of two Perth civic figures, Francis Rea and long-serving town clerk William Ernest Bold. It traces the four-hundred-thirty-seven-hectare bushland reserve from its nineteen thirty-six origins to today's boardwalk-accessible summit, and touches on the old limestone quarry nearby that now fills with an audience of its own. Along the way it takes in the joggers, cyclists and wedding parties who treat this hill as their regular stage.
