These watering places have social heritage. They were important in the patterns of early settlement by the white pioneers in the district. They adopted Aboriginal names for the watering places. This information came from the Dimer family. Heinrich Dimer, with a crew mate, jumped ship from the barque "Platina" in Princess Royal Harbour, Albany in June 1884. They were found walking along the beach 10 miles east of Albany by Campbell Taylor who hid them on Bald Island. Dimer worked for Taylor at 'Candynp' (Albany) and 'Lynburn' (Thomas River) before taking up his own property 'Nanambinia' north of Israelite Bay. Heinrich (Henry) Dimer married Topsy Whitehead in May 1899.
Aboriginal names were given 10 a number of walering places on MI Ragged Road. These were given 10 Pal Daniel (1960s) by Barney Dimer. The Dimer family was associaled with the Brooks family.
