Keysbrook is an outer southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale along the South Western Highway. It was first established as a railway siding on the South Western Railway in 1897, and is believed to have been named after Charles Key (1847-1885), who leased land in the area. The townsite was gazetted in 1916, and the locality was established in 1997.[1]
