worth a walk along the river which winds it way through the city its very clean and you can have a gondala ride on the river the scenery is very pretty

On a hot day the river is a lovely place for locals on their lunch break and tourists looking to unwind and relax.

The river is charming. Walk on the river path and read its history. You will be amazed by its history.

Ah, a beautiful tree lined river wandering through the city and through the botanic gar dens. It is reminiscent of Stratford Upon Avon in it's stately beauty. Take a long walk along the banks be calmed and enjoy nature's beauty.

The Avon River winds throughout the city. It’s not a wide river and there are many roads that cross it. So if you are driving around, you will definitely see it. The Avon River runs along part of the Mona Vale Gardens.
