One of the oldest structures in South Perth, built in 1835 & operational until 1859. Used for grinding flour. Well worth a look around, it's now operated by the National Trust who do guided tours for a small fee. Open only at certain times

Worth a visit to appreciate the history and thanks to South Council to protect the history. A very small set up. 30 minutes is sufficient for viewing. Free entrance. Donation is appreciated. We took bus 35 from Perth bus station. The bus stop is only a very short 50 meters away from the Oil Mill entrance. Please click LIKE for support. TQ.

This was a great experience! I really enjoyed reading all the signs and finding out interesting titbits of history from the area. There is some great information to be learned! 💡 It is a pretty interactive place as you can go in and up the first floor of the windmill and also into the cottage. The signs are very easy to read and are informative. The objects dotted around are also labelled which is helpful! 🏷 Entry is free but donations 💰 are an option which is easy. Lovely friendly volunteers and well kept area. There are benches, a water fountain and toilet 🚻 facilities. It was very enjoyable to learn about the history of the area :)

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, during the school holidays, I was the only person there, except for the 2 lovely ladies who are volunteers are happy to provide info about the history of the place. Very peaceful and a step back in time. Great to see some history preserved. Entry was free, you can access the mill on the ground and first floors.

Thanks to Barry for the hospitality, showing us around and sharing on the story behind the Old Mill and the quarters. No tickets, but donations are encouraged. Must visit for visitors.

Very nice site highly recommend, loved the free entry and the history lesson. The toilet was really clean. Palmolive hand soap and paper were provided. Very impressed 5 stars

Intellibus drive through this old mill. You can hop out and hop in if you want

THE OLD MILL SOUTH PERTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TOURIST ATTRACTION,FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE NARROWS BRIDGE, IF YOU ARE OUT LOOKING AROUND,THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO START,IT IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE,OF A LOT OF ATTRACTIONS,INCLUDING THE FERRY JETTY, WINDSOR HOTEL,OLD BREWERY SITE,KINGS PARK,AND SO MUCH MORE. ADDED PHOTO OF THE MILL AND MILLERS COTTAGE, SOUTH PERTH SIDE OF NARROWS BRIDGE, WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE FERRY.

An interesting piece of history to look at off Mill Point Road. Will Shenton, as far back as 1835, built a mill to mill flour for bread making. It was not profitable and eventually rented out to “Satan” Browne, who started a Hotel/Bar. This also proved to be a disaster and the property ran into disrepair and had to be restored by the State Government and then the National Trust. It is now classified as a heritage site.

A lovely site to visit if you enjoy natural beauty and a bit of history.

Very well maintained historical marker. The grounds were in immaculate condition and very clean. The old mill itself whilst being old was in pretty good nick. Good to see how historic the area is and gives you a good impression of how people used to live.

The Old Mill has been a local landmark for almost 200 years, and well recognized since my childhood. I've been living overseas for decades, and it's great to visit back and see how this historic landmark has been so well preserved and managed. I really enjoyed dropping in and seeing the displays and sharing the history with my best friend. It's a comfort to see this site and recall childhood memories.

If you like history then it’s a cool spot to pass by but not much else …I wish I had seen it in it’s”Pleasure Gardens” days

Amazing piece of history in our own backyard, do yourself a favour and have a look.

Lots of nice walks nearby this historic windmill

A peice of Perth history that most of Perth drives past on a daily basis. Do yourself a favour and stop off and check out this historical site. Very well maintained area with lots of information about the early settlers of Perth.

Nice

It’s a pretty mill and would be nice to come by to take pictures as well as learn about the history.

A beautiful old relic that has been lovingly maintained . Worth a look.

Great bike ride destination with opportunity to learn about the history of Perth

A piece of history that not many know about it's situated in a prominent location along the freeway in South Perth

Enjoyed having a look around and learning about its history. Doesn't take a lot of time if you can only make a quick stop. Best to visit on a cool day for comfort.

Beautiful restored old mill and cottage

Loved seeing a little piece of Perths history beautifully restored and cared for.

Not allot to see, but what there is is really interesting and well worth a visit.

Fantastic place to visit wonderful Western Australia history. If you havnt been you should definitely go and support our buildings of our past 💜

Our class went here for a excursion, it was very interesting and lots of fun!

Beautiful landmark in SouthPerth. Took my little one for the Christmas Event, was lovely to visit

I love historical places and this Old Mill amazed me. I stand in awe how the aesthetic beauty of this structure was preserved making it one of the most significant landmark in South Perth. History has it that, this Old Mill was built in 1835 and produced 680kg of flour until it ceased production in 1859. The mill has then been used as a residence, a hotel, a wine saloon, and a poultry farm. After its repair and upgrade in 1992, it was vested in the National Trust. It's a shame we didn't get to see the interior beauty because it closed at 4:00 pm. Truly an awesome place!

So great that this Icon is still here. Staff so friendly and helpful.

Best place for Perth history. Lovely volunteer staff there to greet you and guide all

Took the kids to have a look inside after driving past so often, the friendly guide gave us a clipboard with pictures of objects to spot around the Old Mill and Homestead, a great way to get my 3yr old to focus a bit! He loved going up and down the stairs of the mill (very steep so watch your footing) and was just a bit disappointed that we couldn't 'turn it on' but we left with a colouring sheet and stamp on the hand, and followed up with a YouTube video at home on a working windmill (Milkshake Monkeys Amazing Adventures) and making banana bread. The guide mentioned they have more kids and family centred activities on school holidays so will have to come back! A surprisingly engaging fun and educational outing.

The Old Mill is an extra-ordinary icon of Perth. It brings back a lot of memory. The settings in the garden and surrounding buildings have been changing gradually over the years, but the mill itself is maintained in very good looking conditions.

Interesting and very informative place, telling so much about Perth's early history and presented in a very attractive manner. Worth having a look over the road at the re-developed Millers Pond area too. It is do nice to see places like this being preserved for our future generations to enjoy and learn from.

Not the same as 'The Old Mill Theatre' at Mends Street, which some people visit instead. This location also hosts its own great events in the building next to the windmill (including weekly open-mic standup comedy), and has various historical tours.

Enjoyed the walk from old mill to foreshore 😁

Worth a visit. Don't forget to visit miller's pool!

Nice preserve old mill. Nice surrounding

It's beautiful and historical

So boring, nothing to do and not much to see. Needs to be more hands on

Really interesting historical site, definitely worth a visit

Always love to visit history place that's so cool.

A very interesting historical site. Currently undergoing renovations expect completion November 2020.

One of Perth's oldest saved landmarks from colonial times.

Great place for comedy on a friday might, really relaxed atmosphere and its also byo so saved money

Unfortunately the day we came here, it was closed. So, cannot be as near as i could. Maybe next time. No picture for this. But at first i thought it is a very big building as in the Netherland. This one rather smaller but still beautiful (looking from far outside the locked fence/gate. No picture... sorry)

Absolutely wonderful piece of WA history, thoroughly enjoyed the picnic and talk to the staff about the area.

So glad it was kept and not demolished like everything else. Took some friends on holiday there, great day.

Stopped by to take photo. There was a lady there but I didnt remember her name. She was really friendly.

This is closed for renovations till the 29 of September

Beautifully restored flour mill dating back to 1835.

When I arrived the premises were closed. One of the staff saw me snapping photos through the fence and kindly invited me in so I could take a quick few snaps and visit. What an incredible sense pf welcome to a beautiful restored and maintained area.

Closed for renos

Nice place.. Simple yet it explain the history of the place.. Liza the volunteer was very friendly and kind..

Historic place in Perth. It is near Mill Point Reserve where you can find the view of the whole city.

Great little gem in Perth. A friend had to tell me it was there though!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, peacefully! Seen on the city and a very large park that is along the lake .. I love it! (Original) Magnifique, paisiblement ! Vu sur la ville et un très grand parc qui fait le long du lac.. J'adore !

Amazing views

The old mill is closed until sometime in August.

Tourist attractions

Beautiful

Awsome place

An important part of Perth's history

Cute wind mill that reminds old world charm

It has a very interesting history.

Love the history

It is a historic flour mill and built in 1835.

One of the most underpromoted tourist destinations in Perth is the Old Mill, which is one of the oldest colonial structures in Perth. The old mill was used to grind flour for the colonialists and once fronts a bay that has since been reclaimed for the expanding Perth population. The shed is filled with olden furniture from the colonial era and has been restored. Entry is by donation, of which the amount is up to you to give.

I learned that this building milled corn into flour using wind power! Ah... Renewable energy
