History

The Swan River, meandering through the city of Perth in Western Australia, holds deep historical and cultural significance. Its origins trace back to the Dreamtime stories of the Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land. Known as Derbal Yerrigan in the Noongar language, the river is central to their mythology, representing a creation story involving the Rainbow Serpent, Waugal. The river provided the Noongar people with sustenance, transportation, and spiritual connection for tens of thousands of years.
