Redcliffe is a suburb located in Perth, Western Australia. It's part of the City of Belmont area.

The suburb's edges are defined by major roads like the Great Eastern Highway and Tonkin Highway. It also borders the Perth International Airport on its eastern side. Redcliffe is about 18 minutes from the main city area of Perth. It's also just a short walk from the beautiful Swan River.

The name "Redcliffe" has a couple of interesting stories. Some people believe it was named after the red clay found along the Swan River when the first settlers arrived. Others think it was named after the original home of an early settler.

Redcliffe was once a very large single property. The main house from that time, called "Nulsen Haven," is still standing today. In 1897, this big property was divided into many smaller farms. A local primary school was built in 1908, showing how the area was growing. Today, Redcliffe has a mix of homes, small businesses, and shops.
