Blackwall Reach (''Jenalup'' in Noongar) is a section of the Swan River in Western Australia. It was named in the 1830s and referred to that part of the river, not just one side of the river or the other. In the twentieth century, the riverside land on the eastern bank that lies just south of Point Walter was specifically called Blackwall Reach. It contains limestone cliffs,〔J.Gentilli and V.N. Serventy (1949) ''The Blackwall Reach Cliffs, Swan River'' in ''The Western Australian Naturalist'', vol.2, no.2, Sept 16 1949 pp.34–38〕 and remnant vegetation adjacent to the river's edge. The location is a popular spot to jump off the cliffs into the river and for rock climbing. However, since the creation and management of the clifftop reserve, signage advises against jumping. Due to its location close to the ocean, unusual fish catches have sometimes occurred. Prior to European settlement, the area was known to the Noongar indigenous people as ''Jenalup'', a sacred place linked to the Dreaming stories. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blackwall Reach (Western Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
