Mount Pleasant Mount Pleasant is a southern suburb which boasts a lot of Canning River frontage from Applecross right down to Mt Henry. Development of the area was slow until the Kwinana Freeway was built in the 1960's which ran from Perth to Canning Bridge. Mount Pleasant gets its name from a property of the same name in the area built in 1911 by early settler Mr James Herbert Simpson. These days this suburb is very attractive due to proximity to the city and the river |
