Swan View is an eastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Its local government areas are the City of Swan and the Shire of Mundaring. It is 25 kilometres (16 mi) from Perth in the Perth Hills on the edge of the Darling Scarp, just to the west of the John Forrest National Park, east of Roe Highway and north of the Great Eastern Highway.
The Brown Park community recreation ground[1] is the location of the long-standing annual Swan View Agricultural Show.[2]
Transport
[edit | edit source]The railway station of Swan View was the important control point for traffic through and around the Swan View Tunnel until it closed on 13 February 1966.[3]
Today, Swan View is served by Transperth buses from Midland, operated by the Public Transport Authority, while the Avonlink/Prospector railway line to Northam and beyond runs along Swan View's western edge.
