Statement of Significance

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.
