Blackwall Reach, Swan River

Blackwall Reach is a section of the Swan River in Western Australia.

Prior to European settlement, the area was known to the Noongar indigenous people as Jenalup, a sacred place linked to the Dreaming stories.

Blackwall Reach was named after an area of the River Thames near Greenwich UK in 1896 by admiralty surveyor L. S. Dawson. The name originally referred to that part of the river, rather than either side, but this changed in the twentieth century when the riverside land on the eastern bank just south of Point Walter was specifically called Blackwall Reach.
