Crawley Edge Boatshed, Historic boathouse in Crawley, Australia.

Crawley Edge Boatshed is a blue wooden building perched over the Swan River, reached by a timber walkway that extends from the shoreline. The structure sits on wooden pillars with a small platform deck, offering views across the water toward the river's broader stretches.

The first boatshed was built in the 1930s. Roland and Joyce Nattrass bought the land behind it in 1944, and the agent required the shed to be included for an extra £5. Peter Nattrass repurchased it in 2001 and rebuilt it after demolition threats; Julie Bishop suggested the blue paint. It was relaunched on 6 February 2004.

The nickname Blue Boat House comes from the bold blue paint applied after 2001, when the family rebuilt the shed under threat of demolition; family friend Julie Bishop suggested the colour. Visitors from Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia now queue for selfies, and couples from Thailand come for pre-wedding shoots. Images of the shed have appeared in Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Japanese advertising.

The site is accessible via Mounts Bay Road in Crawley, with public transit stops within a short walk. Early mornings and late afternoons offer the best natural light for viewing and photography.

The bold blue was chosen on the advice of Julie Bishop, the local federal MP and a family friend, when the Nattrass family rebuilt the rundown shed after 2001. Images of it have appeared in Singapore Airlines and Qantas marketing and in Japanese advertisements.
