Australian river that rises as the Avon northeast of Narrogin and flows to the Indian Ocean below Perth (4)

I believe the answer is:

swan

(Other definitions for swan that I've seen before include "possibly mute" , "Large waterbird" , "... Australian river" , "black, in 7th" , "Whooper, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
