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
A large area of high ground with the peak being over 340 metres. It rises from sandplain
country with the plains to the north east being known as Peel Plains. When named by JS
Roe in November 1835 he described it as "a wooded peak, the hillsides seemed yellow
with good grass and large granite masses protruded from their surface, as in good grazing
districts".
History
The hill was named Bunny's Peak by JS Roe on his Great Southern Expedition with
Governor Stirling in 1835. Roe named it after the banker and a good friend from his
home town of Newbury in England.
