The '''Perth Observatory''' is the name of two astronomical [[observatory|observatories]] located in [[Western Australia]] (WA). In 1896, the original observatory was founded in [[West Perth, Western Australia|West Perth]] on [[Mount Eliza (Western Australia)|Mount Eliza]] overlooking the city of [[Perth]] (obs. code [[IAU code#319|319]]). Due to the city's expansion, the observatory moved to [[Bickley, Western Australia|Bickley]] in 1965. The new Perth Observatory is sometimes referred to as '''Bickley Observatory''' (obs. code [[IAU code#322|322]], [[IAU code#323|323]]).<ref name="springer" />
