Ron Courtney Island

Ron Courtney Island is a small, uninhabited artificial island situated in the Swan River near the suburb of Ascot. Because the island is not developed for public access, visitors view it from the riverbank to observe the quiet scenery and the natural environment of the river system.

Getting There

The island is located east of the Perth city centre. Travelers can reach the nearby riverbank areas by car or public transport. The journey from the city centre typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Since the attraction consists of viewing the island from the shore rather than exploring a developed site, visitors generally spend 30 to 60 minutes in the area.

When to Visit

The site is best visited during daylight hours. Like most outdoor locations in Perth, it is most comfortable during the spring and autumn months to avoid extreme summer heat. The area does not typically experience large crowds.

  • Western Australian Rail Transport Museum: 1.3km
  • Swan River: 3.7km
  • Bennett Brook: 3.8km
  • Bardon Park: 5.2km
