Dirt road is well maintained and several interesting sites on the route. Great to get close up to one of the breakaways you see from the highway.

3. Ivanhoe Crossing

Reviewed By Sightseer601833 - Perth, Australia
This was our first visit to Kununurra and headed out Ivanhoe Rd to check out the irrigated plantations. Luckily we drove far enough and accidentally happened upon the Ivanhoe crossing. We parked and watched a couple of vehicles cross through the flowing water, while laughing at the pelicans waiting for an easy snack. On the road back to town we stopped again to look at the irrigation channels as we were curious as to how it worked. It was great when a contractor from the plantation stopped and was happy to answer our “touristy” questions.
4. Matagarup Bridge

Reviewed By Chizzel - Perth, Australia
This really had been a bonus for Perth. Apart from its majestic appearance on representing two swans it provides a wide and safe platform for people wanting to access Burswood from East Perth. The football fans use this en-masse on game days. I'm a regular user as this new bridge as it allows us to have casual walks around the bridges. We walk across the nearby railway bridge and Matagarup. This bridge can be lit up some nights and provides a fantastic sight.
5. Canning Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia
The iconic Canning Bridge is made of Western Australian (WA) timber that is legendary for its hardiness -- jarrah, wandoo and the mighty karri. Jarrah is still in demand in the UK for its toughness. The bridge is still the main route between the capital of WA, Perth, and the port city of Femantle. There's been a wooden bridge on this site for almost 200 years. If you walk across the bridge you may notice the fishermen's planform, which is popular with anglers.

8. Narrows Bridge

To appreciate the Narrows Bridge, you must go back over 60 years Before it was built, the inadequate Causeway was the only bridge over the Swan River, connecting the city's northern and southern suburbs. I can still remember the fully-laden Bell Bros sand trucks rumbling down the Canning HIghway. The Narrows Bridge has earned its place in the hearts of the people of Perth. I couldn't imagine Perth without the Narrows Bridge.
9. One Tree Bridge

Where the car park is situated is where the new suspension bridge over the Donnelly River is located (limit of 4 people). There is also an Information board of the area here. A pathway under the river leads to the other side where remnants of the original One Tree Bridge is. Lots of birds about when we arrived in the morning.
