The area is the traditional lands of the Yandruwandha people.
In the 17th century, Spain and Portugal divided the world between them with a line running through Durham, which eventually became the border with South Australia. No representatives of either empire visited the site and no consultation with the Yandruwandha people was ever under taken.
The first Europeans to the area were the various parties within the Burke and Wills expedition.
