The Diamond of the Desert was an important watering point on the Old Coastal Stock route. Fro this purpose timber troughs were built on the edge of the spring for stock to drink out of while yards were built nearby. The Diamond of the Desert was named after a place in the twentieth of Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley novels “The Talisman”. It was in the middle of an endless sand plain scrub.
