THE pedestrian bridge at Dog Swamp (the actual swamp) has been closed because the handrails are unsafe.

Stirling city council has earmarked $25,000 in the draft 2014/15 budget for repairs. Located off Wanneroo Road in Yokine, the wetland is a refuge for waterbirds and has a playground and grasslands. The bridge leads to the “Old King Cole’s castle”, the entrance to the now defunct “Land of make believe”. The mystical land once had small buildings based on fairy tales, including three little pigs houses and a stork carrying a baby.
