Madeleine Petty
As a public face of the Mint, Madeleine Petty relishes the chance to tell our stories.
Madeleine has been a tour guide and gold pourer since mid-2023, a role which allows her to combine her fascination with history with a love of theatre and performing.
“For me, the tour is all about telling a story, and we have a wonderful story to tell,” Madeleine says.
“As guides, we all put our own personal touch on the tour. I like to condense the information to make it as clear and concise as possible, especially when many of our visitors have English as a second language.”
Performing has always been part of Madeleine’s life, coming from a background of theatre and ballet.
Away from the Mint, she is happiest in the water, and does underwater modelling including amazing performances as a mermaid at AQWA (Aquarium of WA) and private events.
“The underwater modelling looks effortless and graceful, but it is potentially dangerous,” Madeleine says.
“I’m a rescue diver as well so I am hyper aware of safety. This is vital when you’re under water but equally important when you’re doing something like the gold pour dealing with molten gold at 1,200 degrees.”
