Event information

Travel through stories of the park and the river with the Kings Park Volunteer Guides. Enjoy the wonderful views of the Swan River, "a sight never to be forgotten", as we journey through our history - the geographical features and Aboriginal connections. Learn about the early European explorers and settlers. The foot of the scarp was the industrial heart of early Perth and of course, beer brewing was essential! The walk showcases the views from Mount Eliza over the Swan Canning Riverpark and recognises the importance of Kings Park from past times to today.
