This beautiful stretch of water way, follows a pristine area of the Swan River near the historic port of Fremantle in Western Australia.

The relatively narrow river way, meanders through a channel between the north and south sides of the Swan River.

The water is clean and filled with aquatic and bird life.

With amazing scenery both on and off the water, it is a beautiful place to paddle.

There are many places to stop along the way, to rest and picnic, to explore the limestone cliffs on foot and to take in the views or to spoil yourself with a meal and a drink from a number of restaurants, cafes or yacht clubs along the way.

It is a place rich in history.

To the local Aborigines the Blackwall Reach/Point Walter area is known as Jenalup or Dyundalup. The most sacred part of the area is the cliffs along Blackwall Reach.

The Swan River is highly significant to the Nyungar people, as, in the dreaming, the river was made by the Waugal rainbow serpent.

One of the most prominent features of the Blackwall Reach Reserve is the limestone cliffs that rise eight metres out of the Swan River. The cliffs have been formed by the eroding processes of the river, which flows from the wide expanse of Mosman Bay into the narrow gap of Blackwall Reach.
