About this audio guide
This guide to The Bell Tower in Perth follows the seventeenth-century Englishman who worked out the mathematics behind change ringing, and the eighteen-bell peal above Barrack Square that still runs on his arithmetic. It traces the bells own long journey, cast for a London church centuries ago and carried to Western Australia for the nineteen eighty-eight bicentenary. Listen for how the sequence overhead keeps shifting.
