Ride 8 - Narrows Bridge (South Perth side) to the Causeway

Proceed under the Narrows Bridge and follow the path around to the right where it joins the path leading onto the bridge. Directly in front of you is the historic Old Mill, which is open to the public.

Turn left, onto the clearly signposted shared path to the Causeway. From this point it is a 5 kilometre ride to the Causeway. Keeping the river on your left, cycle past the Mends Street Jetty. Enjoy the lovely gardens and restful grassed areas. Continue on through Sir James Mitchell Park enjoying the panoramic view of Perth on your left.

The next location as you head east on the path is the Coode Street ferry terminal and surf cat hire facility. Carefully cross over Coode Street and rejoin the shared path*.

Continue on over to Ellam Street. The path follows on from Ellam Street and takes you past McCallum Park, which has a car park, children’s playground and public toilets.

At the end of McCallum Park the path splits into two directions. The path leading straight ahead takes you under the Causeway and on to the Burswood Island Casino complex. The other runs off to the right and will take you up a small rise onto the Causeway shared path. You should take the path to the right if you are returning to the car park on Riverside Drive where "Ride 1" and "Ride 12" commence. Once over the bridge it is only a short ride to the car park.

* Alternatively, you can cycle along the shared path that follows Coode Street, heading south towards Mill Point Road. Turn right at Mill Point Road, and follow the path until you reach South Perth Esplanade. Here, you will need to cross over the Esplanade to the shared path on the river side of South Perth Esplanade.
