Mundaring to Cunderdin See & Do
Spanning the Avon River in the centre of town, the Suspension Bridge, built in 1975, is the longest bridge of its kind in Australia.
Next to the bridge, across the river from the Visitor Centre, is the feeding area for Northam’s famous white swans. Introduced to Western Australia in 1896 by British colonists, they have since thrived in the Avon.
On the first weekend of each August Northam becomes the starting point for the Avon River’s 133 km white water classic, the Northam Avon Descent.
