Quarry Amphitheatre, City Beach, Western Australia

The Quarry Amphitheatre is an outdoor performance venue located close to the ocean in Floreat in Western Australia. Situated high up on Reabold Hill in Perth’s coastal suburb of City Beach, the Quarry Amphitheatre began it’s life as a working limestone quarry. At its peak, the quarry employed more than 50 workers supplying limestone to buildings across Perth. Limestone from the Quarry can still be seen in many of Perth’s early buildings. After ceasing operation in 1906, the quarry was abandoned for eighty years and became a favourite place to visit for many children who lived in the area. In 1986, the Quarry Amphitheatre as we see it today was born. Since its transformation into the amphitheatre, hundreds of local and international acts have taken to the stage under the stars. Today, the Quarry Amphitheatre is one of Perth’s most unique and spectacular outdoor performance venues.
