Etymology

The Inman River was named through association with Inspector Henry Inman, founder and first commander of the South Australia Police, who pursued two allegedly escaped convicts there in August 1838.[2] Two indigenous names are recorded for the river: Moo-oola and Moogoora.[3][4] The mouth was called Mugurank, meaning 'place of hammerstones'.[5]

Selwyn Rock, named after Alfred Richard Cecil Selwyn who first discovered it in 1859, is a glaciated pavement in the bed of the river near the settlement of Inman Valley which clearly shows evidence of Glacial striation.
