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