Statement of Significance

The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape and is associated with the first
European exploration of the area.

Physical Description

An area of sandplain located near the northern boundary of the Shire and is bounded by
the Great Southern Railway and Lime Lake East Road. It lies midway between Goldney
Hill and Bunny's Peak.

History

Peel plains were named by JS Roe on his Great Southern Expedition in 1835.

Roe was obviously unimpressed with the sand plain country which he referred to as a
'moor'.
