Historical Aboriginal camp-sites have been found on the creek banks.^[8] In 1863, land abutting the creek was sold at auction.^[9] During late 1933 and early 1934, the river flooded several times and made it difficult to cross the creek. A motion was made to Australia's Minister for the Interior to cement over the creek bed to make crossing during the flood more feasible.^[10] By 1934, ramps had been added to assist in crossing the creek, replacing gates that had been placed there for cattle crossings.^[11]
