The Swan River is a major part of our West Australian identity and the Canning River is a major tributary of the Swan - which means it’s a smaller river that connects to the larger and primary Swan River, just down stream of the Canning bridge in Melville. This means that the Canning, while part of the Swan has it’s own unique identity and a few special things to offer.
