	HolidayCity Travel Article: Cruising Down The Swan River, Perth, Western Australia
		Swan River, you’ll be utterly surprised to hear, was named because of the many fl swans which the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh saw upon the waters when he first passed this way in 1696.
		Incidentally, the fl swan is also a symbol for Perth; there’s even one on the state flag.
		Unlike many major rivers, the Swan was never dredged or enlarged for tankers to pass through, so the average depth is only about 4 metres and there’s relatively little heavy boat traffic — for which reason, you’re quite likely to spot dolphins, jellyfish, schools of fish and other such unusual sights.

	Impacts of hydrological change on phytoplankton succession in the Swan River, Western Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Swan River estuary, Western Australia, has undergone substantial hydrological modifications since pre-European settlement.
		We explore the individual and collective impacts of these hydrological changes on the Swan River estuary using a coupled hydrodynamic-ecological numerical model.
		The simulation results indicate that despite increased hydraulic flushing and reduced residence times, increases in nutrient loads are the dominant perturbation, producing increases in the incidence and peak biomass of blooms of both estuarine and freshwater phytoplankton.
