The River Journeys Project is the development of a network of walking trails featuring 25 nodes or rest points located at key sites of environmental, historical and Aboriginal cultural significance.

With the pace and demands of modern life, it is easy to overlook the opportunities for connecting with nature, recreation and preserving the community heritage that exists on our doorstep. The Swan Canning Riverpark River Journeys Project provides the community with the opportunity to reconnect with our rich and diverse river landscapes.

Walking trails lead you on ‘river journeys’, where, with the help of interpretation, you can learn about and reflect on the history and stories of the area.

The vision of the River Journeys Project is to create a continuous recreation trail network through the Swan Canning Riverpark from Fremantle to Guildford on both the northern and southern shores of the Swan and Canning rivers. Along the Riverpark Trail, there will be interpretation signage at key visitor nodes to communicate the Riverpark’s ecological, social and cultural values.

This is a wonderful opportunity to partner with the Foundation and assist in achieving our vision of completing all 25 nodes and developing an iconic Perth attraction.
