MLC also provided this little snippet of trivia: The name "Carlotta" comes from Carlotta Brook, which you cross south of Nannup where the Brockman and Vasse highways meet. Moreover, Carlotta Brook got the name because Pemberton Walcott and Harry Prinsep's family once had a picnic alongside the brook, and Pemberton carved the name of one of Prinsep's girls (Carlotta) in a tree nearby.
