Matagarup Bridge, Perth WA

The 370 metre long Matagarup Bridge is so much more than just a pedestrian bridge.

 

Connecting Optus Stadium and the Burswood Peninsula to East Perth, Matagarup Bridge symbolises a ‘coming together of diverse cultures’.

 

The flowing arches can represent a pair of black and white swans or the Wagyl, a water-serpent of great importance to local Noongar culture. Feature lighting on the arches illuminates the bridge every night of the year.

The Bridge is also home to a bridge climb with an open air viewing platform 72m above the river, and a 400m long zip line that reaches 75km/hr.
