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.
By day it is invaded by a flotilla of small catamarans - skimming bright blobs of colour. At night the city lights become a brilliant galaxy of dancing reflections.
Cycle and walking paths allows for a relaxing way to enjoy the Perth weather and exercise in the natural air with café opportunities scattered around the river's edge.
