Eden Hill, WA: A Local Guide

A local guide to Eden Hill, WA 6054: the shops on Walter Road East, Jubilee and Mary Crescent reserves, the primary school, buses and a short history.

About Bassendean

Bassendean is a riverside suburb about 12 kilometres north-east of Perth, on the Swan River. With its neighbours Ashfield and Eden Hill, it makes up the Town of Bassendean. It was called West Guildford until 1922, and it grew up around the railway: three Midland line stations, Bassendean, Success Hill and Ashfield, still link it to the city.

Most of the shops and cafés are in two places. Old Perth Road is the old main street, with the Bassendean Hotel, restaurants, salons, the library and the bookshop. Hawaiian’s Bassendean on West Road has Coles, the post office and more than 30 smaller shops and takeaways.

Along the river, Sandy Beach Reserve and Success Hill Reserve are local favourites for picnics and walks, and the Ashfield Flats wetlands are good for birdwatching (see our parks guide). Swan Districts plays at Steel Blue Oval on Old Perth Road, and the Railway Museum on Railway Parade tells the story of WA’s trains. Bassendean is on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar, and Success Hill was a meeting place of significance to the Noongar people.

This guide is written by locals and lists 218 places across Bassendean, Ashfield and Eden Hill. For more ideas, see things to do in Bassendean.
