Description

Originally known as Duri-dring which is Aboriginal for ‘snake crawling in the grass near campsite.’ The town dates from the 1880s and was an important watering hole for prospectors on their way to the goldfields.

Henry Twine was the first to lease land in the area and the town was gazetted in 1912. The Road Board was established in 1923 and the first country trotting club in the state was developed in the same year.
