Point Walter (Western Australia)
- Point Walter (Western Australia)
Point Walter is a headland in the Swan River, Western Australia. It is located on the southern shore, and forms the western end of Melville Water. The suburbs of East Fremantle, Bicton and Attadale adjoin Point Walter. On the opposite side of the river are the suburbs of Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove, and Dalkeith.
Point Walter is notable for the sand bar that extends over 1km into the river, sections of which often submerge under high water.
It is the site of various cultural monuments and activities, including a war memorial avenue and the "YAC it up" free concert for youth, organised by the Melville City council.
Point Walter was named in 1827 by Sir James Stirling, in honour of his favourite older brother Walter Stirling.
