Description

Located on the Albany highway north of Kojonup. Remnants of the early settlement including the police barracks and gaol date back to 1866 and the Mount Pleasant Inn to 1869.

Arthur River was named after Arthur Trimmer a member of Stirling’s exploration party that went through the area in 1835.

The town (if indeed it is big enough to justify the name) is really nothing more than a food and fuel stop on the way south.
