About Chidley Point
Chidley Point is a limestone headland and bushland reserve on the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) in Mosman Park, Western Australia, within the Town of Mosman Park. The point extends into Freshwater Bay and offers panoramic views across the river to Point Walter and the Perth skyline. Notable for its remnant coastal heath, limestone cliffs and natural foreshore, it is managed as public open space for passive recreation and nature appreciation.
