Some Tuesdays are just built different—and our recent trip to the Bell Tower was one of them.
In true Crosslinks style, we turned an ordinary weekday into an extraordinary memory. Picture this: an exclusive tour of the iconic Bell Tower, sensory-friendly gear ready to go, and a group of people who couldn’t stop smiling. It wasn’t just an outing—it was 45 minutes of connection, inclusion, and joy.
A Towering Good Time (Pun Fully Intended)
We had the whole Bell Tower booked just for our Crosslinks community, and yes, the bells were real, loud, and joyful. For many of our participants, this was their first time stepping inside this Perth landmark—and they made every second count.
With the help of the wonderful Bell Tower team, the visit was tailored just for us. They made sure everyone felt safe, welcome and excited. From providing sensory-friendly headphones to guiding us through the historic levels, their team went above and beyond to create a truly inclusive experience.
Ringing Bells and Making Memories
We explored Levels 1 and 2 and even got a turn at ringing the bells ourselves. There was laughter, awe, and a few surprised faces when the bells chimed louder than expected! Everyone gave it a go, and honestly, we think we’ve found some hidden bell-ringing talent among our crew.
But the highlight? Adding our engraved love locks to the Love Lock Gate. Each lock featured the names and birth dates of participants, creating a forever moment right in the heart of Perth.
These little padlocks now live on that gate, holding space for stories, memories, and milestones. They’re more than just metal—they’re symbols of belonging and community. And the best part? You can visit them anytime. A beautiful reminder that our participants—and their stories—matter.

What Made It Special
At Crosslinks, we’re all about creating experiences that bring people together, spark joy and leave lasting impressions. This outing ticked all the boxes:
- ✅ Sensory-friendly adjustments
- ✅ A meaningful activity with a physical takeaway
- ✅ A chance to celebrate our participants in a public, visible way
- ✅ Lots and lots of fun
And it wasn’t just fun—it was important. For many families, especially those who often face social barriers, a well-planned, inclusive outing like this can make a world of difference. We saw confidence grow, friendships deepen, and lots of proud smiles from participants and support workers alike.
A Huge Thank You
Big thanks to the Bell Tower team for being legends and making everything just right. Your attention to detail and warm welcome meant the world to us. We can’t wait to come back.
