Boasting a world-class location over the Swan River, the Red Bull Air Race will bring the stunning natural environment we enjoy in our own backyards to the international stage.
At this year’s event, which will come to Perth on November 1 and 2, River Guardians will be out and about showing how we can all help care for our rivers and foreshores.
Visit the River Guardians marquee on the South Perth foreshore to find out how you can become a member, or for more information on protecting our precious waterways.
You’ll also have the chance to meet Jon the Swan, the feathered face of the program.
Keep reading for more information on Red Bull Air Race and how you can become a River Guardian.
Meet Jon the Swan
Jon is the new River Guardians mascot. Check out our What’s on section to find out where you can see Jon around town. The black swan is the icon of Perth’s Swan and Canning rivers. Jon will play an important role in educating the community on how they can protect his natural environment and help keep our rivers healthy.

Hosted by ‘Frog Doctor’ Johnny Prefumo, the event included information on types of frogs found in the area and frog calls followed by a frog hunt along the Canning River.
A special froggy gift and supper completed the fun.
