Caversham is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located in the City of Swan.

It contains many wineries as part of the Swan Valley wine region.[2] It is the location of brick and tile manufacturers.[3][4] It has long been associated with agricultural pursuits and in the 1920s had a show.[5]

It has also had child welfare properties such as Riverbank.[6]

It also was the location of the Caversham Wildlife Park, which has since moved into Whiteman Park.

It was the location of a war-time airstrip, the Caversham Airfield, which was later utilised as a motor-raceway.[7]
