Canning Bridge to Mt Henry Bridge Loop

On a Saturday with the advice of Barbara from work I drove to Deepwater Point on the Canning River  at Mt Pleasant. I had a coffee at the Cafe at Deepwater Point before heading up river towards the Mt Henry Freeway Bridge. The day was rather wet and cold, but by the time I was halfway through my walk the weather had fined up some what. The river is very beautiful as expected, but I was surprised how interesting the bush along the edge of the freeway was. The walk was a little over 7km in length, I took my time and found it took me about 90 minutes to complete the task. It is quite interesting how the Mt Henry Bridge has the walkway underneath the road carriage, also means you get protection from the weather. On the walk just before getting to Canning Bridge there is some plaques commemorating families who lived in tents by the river at the height of the Great Depression in the early 1930s. I also had an explore of the river just near  Canning Bridge on the South Perth side. It looked quite different from the beach area I can remember swimming at as a young child with Rod Bain a childhood friend.
