Mount Eliza (Mooro Katta, Kaarta Garup, Gargatup) is named for the wife of the (1825-31) Governor of NSW, General Ralph Darling. It overlooks Perth city from the northeast. Below it, to the southwest, is the eastern end of Matilda Bay, the former Swan Brewery, the site of the Mt Eliza Depot (right), and the Kennedy Fountain (Goonininup), in a small park which, tho separate from the mount, has no unique name, being considered to be part of Kings Park.
