Bells Rapids, one of the transit points for Perth’s Avon Descent which is held on Saturday and Sunday 6th and 7th of August was swamped by spectators watching competitors practising in the turbulent rush of water from the Avon River. The banks of the river which are normally used as parking areas were under water as were areas off West Swan Road and vineyards in the Upper Swan.
The unseasonal rain was the result of a tropical low that lay inland over the western Pilbara, which continued moving south-west and then crossed back over the water near Carnarvon on Thursday and early Friday.
A rain band associated with this system lay over the south of the state, lingering for two days.
