This stunning architectural VR story takes the viewer on a breathtaking journey from the ground up to a bird’s eye view utilising elements from State Library collections and material supplied by architects and the Perth community. With key focus points on buildings of significance or interest in Boorloo; Perth Modulated shows the changing architectural landscape up to the latest construction at Elizabeth Quay.

El Caballo Blanco: History at your Fingertips

Through unfettered access to architectural plans, photographs, and personal documents held in the Library collection, this VR experience allows you to explore the buildings and the hidden history of the closed resort and Andalusian horse show. Opened in 1974 in Wooroloo, the resort became known as the home of the Andalusian horse in Australia and became a hugely popular drawcard for local, national and international tourists and visitors. Each daily horse show was filled with magnificent costumes, all the due pomp and ceremony and of course the magnificent Andalusian horses who trained to perfection paraded the Spanish themed arena. For the tens of thousands who visited and experienced the performing horses, it became a life-long memory and major attraction.
