Swan River Between the Bridges
Between the Bridges:
The South Perth and city foreshores provide pleasant walking and cycling trails framing magnificent views of the Swan River, Kings Park and Perth City.
On the city side of the river, a dual cycleway/walk trail takes you on a riverside jaunt between the two bridges which link the Swan River`s south and north shores - the Narrows Bridge and the Causeway.
The Swan is a generous, gentle river right at Perth’s doorstep. It was named in 1797 by the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh who was impressed by the many black swans which he observed upon its waters. The banks of the Swan were the site for Stirling’s settlement.
Today, the Swan River and Perth are inextricably bound together.
