Parker Ironmonger token.  The area first recorded European occupation was in 1856, the Carters established Brim Springs (also known as Geranium Spring) in the area. There are not many historical references available online for the area, but the site is marked by interpretive signage.  

The site is of regional historical and archaeological significance. 

Brim Springs is historically significant for its connection to the early phase of European occupation within the Grampians region. It has the potential to provide archaeological features, deposits and artefacts relating to domestic and pastoral occupation of this region and contain information about the lives of people in this area in the nineteenth century.
