Read more about this trail

The Wardun Beelier Bidi (Coast to River Trail) connects the Indian Ocean with the Swan River, forming the southernmost section of the Whadjuk Network 

Named in 1797 by Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh, the 'Swan River' begins in the foothills of the Darling Ranges, and empties into the Indian Ocean in Fremantle Harbour. The rivers of Perth are woven into the Dreaming stories of the local Aboriginal people, the Noongar. In their language the Indian Ocean is known as 'Wardun' and the Swan River is known as 'Derbal Yarigan', understood to refer to fresh or brackish water and turtle Dreaming along the river. The literal translation for Derbal Yarigan is 'Narlak' (Swan) 'Beelier' (River).

This trail connects through the Shire of Peppermint Grove, named after the trademark peppermint trees, the Town of Mosman Park including the historic Buckland Hill and the beautiful Town of Cottesloe.

This is an excellent trail. Easy walk with paved surfaces all the way. You get some ocean views, native urban bush walking, riverside walking, and finishes off with the fantastic civic gardens in Cottesloe. It was pretty warm the day we did it, so needed plenty of water. We took just over 4 hours, as we had a couple of stops, bumping into people we knew and taking photos.
Well worth it.
