History
Charles Sturt camped at nearby Preservation Creek[4] (Mount Poole) for six months during 1845,[5] and in 1861 the Burke and Wills expedition passed to the east,[6] through what is now the Pindera Aboriginal Area,[7] on the far side of Sturt National Park.
Gold was discovered nearby in the 1870s.
