In the late 1870's the demand for stock pastures was such that Alexander Forrest persuaded the pastoralists of the Pilbara to equip an expedition to look for suitable territory in the Kimberley. He explored the King Leopold Ranges suffering were he lost many of his horses and his men became gravily ill. During this trip he visited Lennard River Gorge, Bell Gorge and camped at the lower end of Geike Gorge. He headed eastwards and treked to the north of Halls Creek (nr. Mount Barrett) and north east of the site of Ord River Regeneration Station. He crossed the Ord River and continued east across the Nicholson Plains and onto the Trans Australian Telegraph Line at Daly Waters.

As Forrest passed towards Ord Station, he would have seen the South-eastern extremity of the Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) National Park.
