Solus is a rural locality of the Shire of Murray in the Peel Region of Western Australia.[1] [2]
The Shire of Murray and the locality of Solus are located on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation.[3] The Pindjarup language is now considered extinct but the Noongar people remain present in the region.[4]
Mount Solus, with an altitude of 574 metres, and the Mount Solus fire lookout tower are located within the locality.[5]
The locality is substantially utilised by Alcoa, which carries out bauxite mining in the area.[6]
