The Matagarup Bridge was opened to the public in July 2018 providing access between East Perth and Burswood. The 370m suspension pedestrian bridge quickly became a Perth icon and you can see it lit up in different colours to support major local, state and international events.

Matagarup, meaning a place where the river is only leg deep, allowing it to be crossed, is the name given by traditional land owners to the area around Heirisson Island. The flowing arches represent the Wagyl, a water-serpent of great importance to local Noongar culture, and a pair of swans.

You are now able to climb and zip line from Matagarup Bridge. There are three different options to choose from:

• Zip + Climb – walk up and over the glass floor Sky View platform, then clip onto the 400m zipline (2 hours)
• Express Zip – walk half way up the bridge, zipline down (90 minutes)
• Bridge Climb – walk up and over Sky View platform, and walk down (90 minutes) – no zipline

Getting there and general information:

It is a 20 minute walk or a 4 minute drive from Metro Hotel Perth City to Matagarup Bridge.
