Belhus is a rural north-eastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia within the City of Swan. It is located in the north of the Swan Valley region, at the confluence of the Swan River and the Ellen Brook.
The locality is characterised by a low-density rural-residential landscape of hobby farms, viticulture and horticulture operations.[2] It also contains several preserved historic sites from the early Swan River Colony era of Western Australia, including the original homestead of pioneer settler Henry Bull and the final resting place of Noongar warrior Yagan.
