River recovery plan - Avon Gorge and Deepdale Valley

Technical Report
The Avon River Management Program outlines a strategic approach for recovery of the river from its current poor health.
Last updated:

This recovery plan covers two important sections of the river between the Avon Valley National Park and Deepdale Road, near West Toodyay bridge. Sections 1 and 2 include four major pools and the confluence of four major tributaries.

The Avon is scenic in these sections as it descends through a hilly landscape towards the Swan Coastal Plain. It is well recognised by those who travel east from Perth by train. These sections are also renown by those involved in the long-running ‘Avon Descent’ both for the challenging ‘Ti-tree Thickets’ and for the overnight campsite at Cobblers Pool.
