1 Autumn Afternoon Tea

3 During autumn, Western Australia experiences warm, sunny days and cooler nights. These conditions result in plentiful amounts of fruits and vegetables such as passion fruit, banana and rhubarb being readily available. Our autumn afternoon tea menu is designed to highlight some of Western Australia s most revered produce, alongside lesser known delights. The Treasury Lounge and Bar is situated above Point Zero, the most significant reference point of the city. Point Zero is the marker from which all distances to Perth are measured, representing the centre and historic heart of Perth. To highlight these great Western Australian producers on our menu, we have calculated exactly how near they are to our venue. While enjoying afternoon tea, admire the collection of works by talented Western Australian artists, Philippa and Alex Nikulinsky. The Cape Arid collection depicts the Australian bushland using watercolour, pencil, pen and Chinese ink. The husband and wife team journey into Cape Arid National Park on the far southeastern coast of WA, to paint the Australian landscape. Front cover features artwork by Philippa Nikulinsky Philippa s Cape Arid book and limited edition large botanical prints are available to purchase at COMO The Treasury s Arrivals Lounge or via the State Buildings online gift shop at
