By Ben Ansell The Swan and Canning rivers are central to Perth’s identity and provide a playground which contributes to the vibrant city community. A project to link key areas along the Swan River’s southern foreshore, delivered through a range of media, is capturing the river’s natural and cultural heritage while enriching visitors’ experiences and encouraging custodianship of the area. by Ben Ansell he Swan Canning Riverpark covers 72.1km2 of river reserve Tand adjoining public lands, and supports a diverse range of plant and animal life, of which some are endemic to the region. The Swan River, or Derbal Yerrigan as it’s known in the Noongar language, is 72km long and the intersecting Canning River (Djarlgarro Beeliar) is 110km long. Together, these two rivers and their Bicton Baths tributaries drain a catchment area of Previous page 2 2090km , stretching and snaking their way Main The stunning Blackwall Reach, otherwise from Wickepin in the Wheatbelt to the known in Noongar as Jennalup – the place of Indian Ocean at Fremantle. feet.

  • Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia
    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,

The high resolution version, with high quality images, is available to download at the following link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20617814/THERIVER_WEB_HIGHRES.pdf Introduction Driving on Mounts Bay Road towards Crawley one day, it occurred to me that the river at my side was much more than just a waterway, some kind of flowing thoroughfare … it is a thing of profound beauty, a national park; it’s our own Sydney Harbour, without the navy perhaps, but with all the beauty. And from every vantage point you look at it, it is di!erent, a moving feast. The River is a pictorial statement on the Swan as a thing of beauty; there are no statistics, no history or geography. It’s not a book for serious study but one that I hope will be enjoyed in the way that I’ve intended it: as a picture book that o!ers pleasure in its glimpses of the river scenery in my part of the world. In particular the popular beauty spots and well-used recreational areas between Perth Water and Fremantle – places that, for many people have been part of their neighbourhood, their consciousness, all their life. Something they’ve known forever, part of their own personal history. Looking at the city from the South Perth Ferry Terminal I remember my delight as a child, when a family visit to the zoo meant a boat-trip across the river. I remember as a five or six year old the beaches of Mosman and of Crawley – where I saw sea-planes landing on the river during the war – and Como Beach where the water was so shallow.

  • Musculista Senhousia (Benson, 1842); a Mussel Recently Introduced Into the Swan River Estuary, Western Australia
    Rec. !Vest. Aust. Mus. 1987,13(2): 225-230 Musculista senhousia (Benson, 1842); a mussel recently introduced into the Swan River estuary, Western Australia. (Mollusca: Mytilidae) S.M. Slack-Smith* and A. Brearleyt Abstract Introduction of the east Asian bag mussel Musculista senhousia to the Swan River estuary in 1982 iJ reported. A description of its subsequent spread in the estuary and some preliminary comments on its ecology are given. Introduction The fauna of the Swan River estuary and adjacent coastal water is well documented and represented in the collections of the Western Australian Museum. The benthic invertebrates of the estuary, particularly the molluscs, were examined by Chalmer et at. (1976) and a summary of this work and of previous studies on the fauna of the Swan and other Western Australian estuaries and embayments was com­ piled by Hodgkin and Majer (1976). Extension of the geographic range of the mactrid bivalve Spisula (Notospisula) trigonella (Lamarck, 1819) into the Swan estuary in about 1964 was documented by Wilson and Kendrick (1968). The nassariid gastropod Nassarius (Plicarcularia) burchardi (Dunker, 1849) exhibited a similar extension ofrange from the southern Australian coast, this having been first recorded in 1965. The east Asian semelid bivalve Theora (Endopleura) lubrica Gould, 1861 arrived in Cockburn Sound in about 1971 and in the estuary in about 1973, almost coincidentally with its arrival in California and New Zealand. These last three species still form a signi­ ficant part of the molluscan biota of the estuary. The most recent arrival of an exotic molluscan species into the estuary appears to be the bag mussel Musculista senhousia (Benson, 1842).
