Matagarup Bridge, a landmark attraction in Perth, Australia 👣👣 Matagarup Bridge

✨Speaking of one of Perth's iconic attractions, we must mention the Matagarup Bridge. The Matagarup Bridge is built with steel bars and was completed and opened to the public in 2018. The Matagarup Bridge also features an exciting zipline climbing activity, where you can climb up to the bridge in mid-air and glide over the river, which is an alternative viewing and fun experience. ✨The Matagarup Bridge is a relatively new landmark in Perth. It was officially opened in 2018. Its name comes from the local dialect, meaning the place where the river is shallow and can be crossed. The 370-metre-long pedestrian bridge, located next to Optus Stadium, crosses the Swan River and connects Burswood Peninsula to East Perth. This land originally belonged to the Aboriginal Whadjuk Noongar and has important historical value. It was later developed into the current sports venue and park. ✨The bridge’s black and white streamlined arches represent a pair of swans, echoing the location. They also represent a Wagyl or ribbon, a water snake that is very important to local culture, symbolizing the convergence of diverse cultures. Locals prefer to use the "bull horn" gesture to represent the bridge. There are also 900 meters of LED lights on the bridge, which are lit up every night to illuminate the city. On special days or events, the lights will appear in different color combinations. #Perth #Australia #Check-in Hotspot #Perth 📍Nile St, East Perth WA 6004
