The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape and is associated with the first European exploration of the area. It is also significant for the role it has played in communications.
Strathmore Hill NT1 (356.3 metres) is the largest peak of a range known as the Hemstead Hills. It is situated to the SW of Boyaminning. A summit runs NE/SW to the north of the Link Road and continuing this line of hills to the NE is Strathmore Hill and Strathmore Nature Reserve. This range of hills rises above the plains of the Carrolup River. Generally it is an ironstone formation still covered by some vegetation.
The range of hills was named Hemstead by Surveyor General John Septemus Roe and Beaufort. On 20 December 1835, Roe and his party camped on the side of Hemstead Hills. Dr Hemstead, after whom the range of hills was named, was the physician at Newbury, Roe's birth place in England.
