The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape and is associated with the first European exploration of the area.
The gently undulating plain extends west from Mt Rice either side of Ashwell Road and is bounded on the SE by Mine Hill and north west by Boyerine Creek.
Spring Plains was so named by John Septimus Roe when on the Great Southern Expedition with Governor Stirling in 1835. The name would indicate a high degree of natural grasses growing in the area at the time of Roe's discovery in November 1835.
