Darlot/Woodara/Ballangarry > Darlot
Lake Darlot was discovered by L.A.Wells on 6 March 1892 as part of the Elders Expedition and was named after Leonard Hawthorn Darlot a pastoralist whose family purchased Berringarra Station property in the Murchison District in 1882. Gold was first discovered in the area late in 1894 which started the Darlot Rush.
