Barrack Square, Heritage square at Perth waterfront, Australia.

The square extends along the Swan River foreshore, featuring six jetties, multiple restaurants, and the Swan Bells bell tower at its center.

The area received its name from the military barracks established in 1829, marking the foundation period of Perth under Governor Stirling's administration.

The square functions as a meeting point where locals gather for ceremonies and celebrations while tourists depart on river cruises and Rottnest Island trips.

The Barrack Street Jetty operates as a transportation hub with Transperth services connecting visitors to various waterfront destinations throughout the day.

The West Australian Rowing Club maintains its traditional presence near the square since the nineteenth century, continuing water sports activities.
