Belhus is a rural north-eastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, in the City of Swan local government area. It is located in 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, vineyards and light agricultural industry.[2] It also contains several preserved historic sites from the early Swan River Colony era of Western Australia, including the homestead of pioneer settler Henry Bull and the final resting place of Noongar warrior Yagan.[3]
