Getting There
By Bus - from Perth City - catch the free Yellow CAT, disembark at Nile Street bus stop and walk down the hill towards the river.

After your visit to the public toilets follow the walk/bike path down the hill towards the river until you get to Nile Street. The river will be on your left.
By Walking - From Burswood Casino if you don’t mind a walk it is a pleasant 3 kilometre walk or catch a bus into Perth City and disembark just after the Causeway and follow the river path upstream to Nelson Avenue. The River will be on your right.

On this 90 minute tour you will see another side of the city. Seen from the water, Claisebrook Cove, Heirisson Island and Burswood Park take on a different face.
