Henley Brook is a quiet, countryside suburb located in Perth, Western Australia. It's part of the beautiful Swan Valley area, which is famous for its vineyards. The Ellen Brook and Swan River meet right here in the northeastern part of Henley Brook. This spot is historically important because it's as far as Captain Stirling explored in 1827 before he chose the place for the new colony of Perth in 1829. You can also find the All Saints Church here, which is the oldest church in Western Australia.
The West Australian Reptile Park is a fun place to visit in Henley Brook. You can see many different reptiles there.
