Geography

The geography of the Parish is mostly the flat, arid landscape of the Channel Country. The parish has a Köppen climate classification of BWh (Hot desert).[2] The nearest town is Tibooburra to the north east, which is on the Silver City Highway and lies south of the Sturt National Park.[3]

History

The Parish is on the traditional lands of the Wadigali[4] and to a lesser extent Karenggapa,[5] Aboriginal peoples.[6]

Charles Sturt passed through the area and camping for six months at nearby Preservation Creek, during 1845,[7]

In 1861 the Burke and Wills expedition passed to the east.[8]

Gold was discovered nearby in the 1870s.
