You can build river walls beside it.
Along the bank beside the Ascot Race Course, a new river wall is being built.
Adding to the many kilometres of river walls already beside the Swan.
Yet when I went to take some photos of the original river all, now more than a hundred metres back from the current river position, all remnants had been built over! Back in the 1980’s, as a part of my genealogical research, I found a number of remnant stretches of river wall. All built over now 😦

This adds on to my last comment re change. It’s one thing to discover the historic and ponder what might have been, but to have been a part of that which has become lost & is now a part of history, leaves you nothing short of emotional floundering.

Perth is not a good place for history. We seem to tear down an awful lot of it 😦

Bleedin’ historical vandals!! Part of the vandalism which always occurs when a LNP Government is in power! “Break it all down and build on it” is their motto!

Every time there is a boom, we lose more valuable bits of history.
