The Leaning Tower of Gingin is our pride and joy here at the Gravity Discovery Centre. It is an awesome feat of engineering. The Tower is an impressive 45 metre tall steel structure, leaning at an angle of 15 degrees and held in place by 180 Tons of concrete.

Its model and inspiration, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, leans at a mere 5.5 degrees.

A safe, yet thrilling climb up the 222 steps will take you to the very top of the Tower. The view from up there across the Wallingup Plains all the way to the Darling Scarp is no less than breathtaking. Experiencing our countryside from this vantage point will give you a new appreciation of its beauty and vastness.

The Leaning Tower of Gingin was built to inspire people from all walks of life and various ages to take a new look at science and get involved in some hands-on experiments of their own. Designed to re create Galileo’s experiments from some 440 years ago, the Tower is the ultimate science experiment and it is fast becoming one of Perth’s most recognised icons, along with King’s Park and the Pinnacles.
