The site represents associations with the pioneer pastoralist and a pioneer settler in the region. It represents the life blood of the country.
Shortly after the settlement in Wogolin and Dudinin, the pioneers of Jitarning staked their selections. Previously the land had been held under a pastoral lease by Michael Brown, and the soaks were important watering and camp sites. The presence of water at Kolberin Soak and Long Jack Well drew some early settlers. Pool took up a 1000 acres at Kolberin Soak in January 1909, and in October that year, Spurr took up 2000 acres at Long Jack Well.
