SWAN RIVER, PERTH

The Swan River begins at Wooroloo Brook a point at which the Avon River meets the brook and becomes the Swan River. The Swan River then flows for approximately 67km to Fremantle exiting from the harbour into the Indian Ocean.

The river is a grand waterway running through Perth and along its banks there are many reserves, parks, water sport facilities, hotels and entertainment & recreation centres. The wildlife and waterbirds enjoy the water also, of course!

    Great name for a River! The pelican with the passenger is great -- Pelicans always make me smile and that picture makes me laugh out loud!

    The pelican is wonderful... but with a name like Swan River I was expecting there to be lots of swanning about!

    the gull landing on the pelican is hilarious. So much fun.
    You have a nice area so close to the city. That´s great. :)
