Swanport
Town in South Australia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swanport, also formerly known as Thompson's Crossing and Thomson's Landing, is a suburban satellite locality of Murray Bridge in South Australia on the west (right) bank of the Murray River adjacent to Swanport Bridge.[2] Its boundaries were formalised in March 2000 to cover a portion of semi-urban land immediately south of the South Eastern Freeway adjacent to the Swanport Bridge, which is the main road freight route over the Murray.[2] It is named for the docking place on the west bank of the Murray which was home to "numerous swans"[2] and also known as Thomson's Landing.[3]
