The Swan River is a popular river and tourist destination in Western Australia.
The Swan River has a different name in Aboriginal Noongar, which is Derbarl Yerrigan. The Swan River is known to run through the metropolitan city of Perth in Australia, which is the largest city and the capital of Western Australia.
The Swan River rises in the hills south of Corrigan as the Avon River and then flows 224 mi (360 km) southwest and northeast past Perth and Northam to the Indian Ocean at Fremantle. The river is known by the name Swan only in the lower 60 mi (97 km) of its course. The Helena River and the Canning River are tributaries of the Swan River. The Swan and Canning rivers run through Perth, where more than two million people reside. There's also an organization called the Swan River Trust that works to oversee the health, use, and condition of both the Swan and the Canning rivers.
During the ancient days of the Swan River settlement, the Swan River was actually used as the main route for transportation from Fremantle and Perth. This system of transportation continued until the Government Rail system was established between Fremantle and Perth's Guildford. Since the beginning of Perth, the Swan River has existed and still exists now. The Swan River divides the city of Perth into North and South Perth.
Let's learn some unique facts about the Swan River of the city of Perth.
The river flows through the city of Perth. The lower reaches of the Swan River are deep and wide, while the upper reaches are narrow and shallow. The deepest point of the Swan River is about 69 ft (21 m) around Mosman Bay.
The Noongar people believe that the Wagyl/Waugal made the Swan River. This is a snake-like being that moved over the land creating rivers, lakes, and waterways.
The three major tributaries of the Swan River are the Avon River, Helena River, and the Canning River.
