Editing Swan River (Western Australia) (section)

===Perth Water and Melville Water===
[[Perth Water]], between the city and South Perth, is separated from the main estuary by the Narrows, over which the [[Narrows Bridge (Perth)|Narrows Bridge]] was built in 1959. The river then opens up into the large expanse of the river known as Melville Water. The [[Canning River]] enters the river at Canning Bridge in Applecross from its source {{convert|50|km}} south-east of [[Armadale, Western Australia|Armadale]]. The river is at its widest here, measuring more than {{convert|4|km}} from north to south. [[Point Walter]] has a protruding spit that extends up to {{convert|800|m}} into the river, forcing river traffic to detour around it.
