The site has historic value as it was a stopping place for travelling in the 1850's and 1860's and demonstrates the expansion of the district at this time. The site has research value as it has potential to contain subsurface archaeological remains.
There is no definitive evidence remaining but the approximate location was identified by the bank of trees.
One of the stopping places with a water supply for travellers was established by Fred Lee on ten acres that he took up in 1857. it was a day's journey to Toodyay where he worked as a carrier on the Guildford-Toodyay run. When the new road was constructed it bypassed Lee's place and eventually he abandoned it.
