The spring is important as it provides a benchmark in salinity studies as it was saline before European settlement.
The salt seepage area is located in a gully just south east of where the Beaufort Station sheds and shearing sheds were built. About 100 metres further up the gully (south) is the fresh water well which supplied the Beaufort Homestead.
The spring is situated on the original Martup Hills pastoral lease taken out by Edward Hamersley in 1852 and later by William Cornwall as part of the Beaufort Station.
