Canning Highway is an arterial road in Perth, Western Australia, linking the inner Perth suburb of Victoria Park in the north-east, to the port city of Fremantle in the south-west.
The road is mostly a four-lane divided carriageway, with a general speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph). It is located immediately south of the Swan River and runs between The Causeway in Victoria Park and Queen Victoria Street in Fremantle.
The Canning Highway was the inspiration for the AC/DC song "Highway to Hell" as it had a reputation for accidents and led to many of singer Bon Scott's favourite pubs and hotels, including the Raffles Hotel.[1][2]
