I didn't even know there was another island (other than Heirisson Island) in the Swan River until recently. We stumbled across Kuljak (Black Swan) Island while walking Baigup Wetlands and Riverside Gardens a while back and I've had it in the back of my mind to come back and walk the trails around the island. Finally I managed to fit the walk in on a cool December day. The island is mostly flat and the 2.6km trail loops around the island with a number of offshoots for longe

Ascot Waters is a lovely residential development nestled on the banks of the Swan opposite Ascot Racecourse. We had come here to walk the Kuljak Island Trail but had to explore further when we saw how lovely this area is. Entrance to Ascot Waters is off Garrett Road at either Waterway Crescent to the north or Resolution Drive to the south. Both intersections are marked by a large white racing horse so you can't miss them! Where you start and finish your walk will depend on
