Thanks to Nadine for sharing this walk!
“Take a pram walk along the beautiful Swan River where, early in the morning, watch for rowers on the river and dolphins playing. This walk is a loop. Highlights along the walk without having to cross a single road include the river, golf course, casino, Perth city views, Heirisson Island, WACCA, and Gloucester Park. At the end of the walk, kids can play on the playground, look for fish off the jetty, or enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafés or wander around the boutique shops.” – Nadine
