There had been a lot of history here. Going back to 1824 Captain William Dumaresq had the following to say: "The road is now in this spot remarkably good, and at a place called the Twenty Mile Hollow, the road is now made by the prisoner gangs as good as the most capricious taste could desire.

"The traveller will here find a pretty spring of excellent water and, as it is the first handy place for twenty miles, he should halt and take a drink. The vegetation here becomes more dwarfish, [with] stunted eucalypts of box and ash, and several varieties of the honeysuckle (banksia) and now and then the telopea or waratah. [From an interpretative sign near the entrance to the Public Land.]

There is a large grassy slope behind the log and rock barricades. About half of the car parking area is with a loose gravel surface that allows larger vehicles (eg, buses and cars with trailers or caravans) to have a place to pull over. The public toilets near the entrance off the Great Western Highway were well maintained.
