History of South Perth
South Perth was officially proclaimed a separate suburb in 1831. One of Western Australia's first mills was established in South Perth in 1833 and after a ferry service crossing the Swan River was established, the suburb became a desirable place to reside, resulting in many grand homes being constructed. A popular place to live today, the suburb is a mixture of apartment buildings, mansions by the river and some older houses.
Landmark in South Perth
The Swan River which divides Perth and South Perth is the most famous landmark in the suburb. A wide and deep body of water, the river helped Perth expand into the bustling city it is today by allowing the easy transportation of goods. Named by the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh in 1697, the Swan River is the iconic image of Perth.
The old mill built in 1833 still stands on the southern shore of the Narrows section of the Swan River. The suburb also houses the Perth Zoo which draws large crowds all year round.
