Mount Romance is a rural locality of the Shire of Denmark in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Kent River flows through Mount Romance from north to south while the Denmark River forms its eastern boundary. Much of the locality is covered by protected areas, the Mount Lindesay National Park and the Mount Roe National Park. The actual mountain, Mount Romance, is located near the centre of the locality.[3][4]
Mount Romance and the Shire of Denmark, according to the shire's website, are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Mineng people of the Noongar nation.[5] The Mineng's traditional lands cover the majority of the shire while the Bibulman's traditional lands are to the west and, according to other sources, do not extend into the Shire of Denmark.[6][7][8]
