About this audio guide
This guide to Bells Rapids Park in Brigadoon, in Perth's Swan Valley, follows the money behind the Avon Descent, the whitewater race that has thundered past these rocks every August since nineteen seventy-three. You will hear what a paddler actually pays to enter, what a winner actually takes home, and why thousands of spectators still gather here for free. It is a story about who profits from a rapid that has been testing boats for decades, and who never stops paying to find out. Best heard standing at the bank where the crowds gather.
